Found this the other day in Frankfurt. Guess I'll use it.
It is used but only 1500 miles.
All forged 355 with 22cc blower pistons.
Came with timing chain, cover, opti, lifters, and some
other small things.

Ithink somebody bullshitting you if that is 1500 miles on that block. Looks to be too much carbon buildup on the domes.

Have you looked at the crank? I agree with Roy. Hopefully it'll work allright for you.

Haven't had a chance to look at the crank.
I don't have one of those nice rotating engine stands.
I don't really believe 1500 either but I think it will hold up.
Was used mostly at the track with 22 runs.
It was pushing 11# of vortech, would that make a difference with the higher cylinder preasures?
The pan looks like it has aleady been tapped, one less thing to worry about.

Here is a better pic after 5 minutes of cleaning:

All cylinder walls are perfectly smooth:
