A question of practicality

[nuch_ss396]

Hey guys!

Been away a long time............ Glad to be back.

I have a question for the group here. Currently there is an
ebay auction for a rough cast "Yenko" ZL-1 block with steel
liners (not installed). My question is over the practicality
of such an item.

This block evidently has had no machining done to it. So how
does one get an albeit rare item like this machined for crank
and main bearing caps, camshaft bore, cylinder head bolt hole
locations, as well as all other necessary milling, drilling
and tapping?

Can even a good machine shop handle all of the necessary
machine work required? I'm sure Tonawanda had jigs and fixtures
to facilitate proper alignment for all machining operations
back in the day.......

Lastly, anyone care to hazzard a quess as to how much it might
cost to bring this rough cast block to useful life?
