Is this 6.2 block salvageable?
Acquired this block from a buddy for helping him do some work, I'm just curious if its salvageable or not.
one of the valve seats drop and destroyed the piston and put a hole in the sleeve/block mabey a little larger than a quarter and goes through to the water jacket.
(hole is twords the inside of the block)

You can have that 1 hole sleeved. It's about $100 for the sleeve. They machine the bore out and leave a little step toward the bottom of the cylinder. They do an interference fit and use an adhesive to bond the sleeve to the block. They usually shrink the sleeve with dry ice or liquid nitrogen and drop it in. When it normalizes it expands.
Talk with your local machinist and see if its cost effective for you. It might run about $300 in labor to sleeve and bore the hole to save the block.
