When my friend, who sold me the truck after he purchased as a retirement project but never touched it for six years, said when he heard about the cracked end cap "sounds like a small block to me".

I'm hoping that it doesn't come to that given the history of the engine, but you are correct, I want to drive this thing and take it to local car shows.
