	To save some money on my 3TG conversion (could be some time off yet), I will just buy a 3T crank, and grind the block to clear the con-rods.  I have seen the result of this once before.  Is there any disadvantage? Any reason to go for a 3T block?  Grinding is no problem for me, as its probably less work since I won't have to change the dummy cam bearings.

	essentially the blocks are the same jonny, so i don't think it would make much difference - the only thing between them is the age dude.

	I've got a balanced 3TGTEU crank I might be willing to part with.....  & a 3TGTE block also, but its been bored 20thou & honed.

	Well let me know how much the 3T crank is.
  Im in Hobart so I guess shipping a block would be a waste, expecialy when my 2TG block will do just fine, only with a little grinding.

	Well, It cost me $165 just for the balance.  I had the bearing journals polished at the same time, and there are no scores in them, so I know its in good condition.  What do you think about $150?
