Good luck.
Don't want to do all that, spend $$$, and put back and find problems inside later. Now's the time. Make sure they dye penetrant test the whole block. Where's there's one...
Or you can do what they used to do, put a some "additives" in and sell it fast!
They should've honed the cylinders after boring so to have vertical lines would not be expected. If what looks like a crack in cylinder is not and a "groove" from machining somethings not right.
No 502 but maybe able to fix you up with a lo miles 288 L8! Great boat anchor.
