OH SOB! I'm went from having a happy day to madder than a wet flogging hen. Please bear with me I have to vent.

I went down to pick up my block and pay the bill. Block looked good and bagged up tight so knowing that it had to ride in the back of the pick up, we loaded it up and payed the bill and headed for the house. Well I got it unloaded and on the stand, Masked everything off and took it out side for a paint job.
Well 3 hours later I pull the masking off and sit back and look at my GLEAMING CHEVY ORANGE block ready of parts and building. About that time something catches my eye and I think WTH is that. I take a closer look and turn the block so the sun shines onto the left bank of the lifter valley and there it is!!!!!!!! A Crack! A M*&^%$#F&*^#%$ crack about inch below the deck right on the head bolt hump.
I called the machine shop and asked the guy if he maxnafluxed the block as I asked to which he reply "YES". I then told him the block was cracked and I was bringing it back to him.
Long story short: Got money back and gave them 200lbs of junk cast iron. Now I'm sitting here with no block a junk set of 193 heads and nothing to build. But thats OK. I'm headed out to look at a 477hp 11.1cr .575 soild lift, forged TRW pistons, RHS heads SBC with all the goodies already build. I'll let ya know how it turns out. Been a rotten day for me but I hope y'alls was better
