I am working with Rustbucket to get good running 305 to replace it. I plan to take the block to a machine shop and have the one cylinder repaired (see photo with the grooves cut by the piston wrist pin). Hopefully I will then have a working spare engine.
Thanks again for all of your responses and great advice!

Greetings kcchampagne!
From what I've seen and read about in your thread, there are some people out there who should not be allowed to possess a wrench, much less be allowed to work on or rebuild engines of any kind!
