I would get the block and head resurfaced, throw on a new HG and new ARP studs you should be good to go. I cant tell if that one piston is good or not but they look clean and the cylinders look good. I dont know if you can get the block decked without removing the pistons?? Maybe for and extra precaution have the engine disassembled and have everything checked. Thats what I would have done.

Everything is for sale all day every day.
To poopras point:
I will not spend a dime on this motor if it needs any sort of reworking. I would put the $ towards the other motor i have sitting completely disassembled with fresh everything. My hope was to find that the bottom end of this motor was good and something above that was bad causing a low compression reading in one cylinder. There is some evidence of that. I already have a fully assembled head ready to go on if that is the case. If the head is good and the bottom end is bad i will take it a part or offer it up as a boat anchor.
To Chinoās point:
If the bottom end is good on the rust bucket motor in the car, I will put the head I already have and finish the build and put down a decent amount of power and get the car cleaned up and put it up for sale. I really donāt want an old car anymore that needs tinkering and stuff. I would like to buy a house this summer so I am trying to make everything more āsaleableā before then so i can move without moving the used car lot that is currently my driveway.
Progress is progress and I could not do it without the help of GSX but I do miss some meets and things that I have been absent from without having a ātoyā to cruise around in.
More updates to come I am sure.

So you have a motor sitting in the red one, a bottom end in the silver one, and another freshly rebuilt motor?
Is the silver cars bottom end built? Just low compression?

Yeah I canāt wait til mines done. I just canāt seem to find any time work on mine, between overtime at work, and other crap going on.
I told Kyle that I would be willing to lend a hand, where I can, to help him get this project rolling. Iām still a novice at working on these thingsā¦but I did learn alot when I pulled the engine out of my 89.

I donāt think he is blaming the car itself just the whole love-affair of go-fast mods on cars and the multitude of parts that can pile up. Settle down, Jambo.

I am saying that its one thing after the next with this stupid project. It will be a moral victory to even have it running and a champagne popping event when it sells lol
