what should I do with old 4 bolt 350 block
got this block about 15yrs ago -had it bored .030 or is it .30 someone correct me on that
had the deck resurfaced and ne cam bearings installed
was going to build it with new crank--but found another complete engine
so this block has been sitting in my shed all this time with axle grease smeared all over it to keep the rust away
should I buy a crank kit and build it or just sell it as a bare block
keep in mind I don't have a vehicle that this would be going into anymore

It's .030", commonly referred to as "30 over". You would have a hard time recovering any money you invest in building it as a complete engine or shortblock, never mind your time/effort. If you don't intend to use it yourself, probably best just to sell off the block. BUT, if you don't need the cash, why not just hang on to it, can never tell if you might need it in the future. Yes, I am a packrat.

Boosted,
If you are thinking of selling it, I'd be interested in it for the right price. I have a '91 Z28 with a pretty much stock 305 that I'm looking to swap for a built-up 350 4-bolt. If you want to save it for the kids, I totally respect that.
If I ever have a boy, I'd love to teach him about cars growing up. My dad showed me a little bit and i thought it was cool! I learned a lot from him and a lot from just doin' stuff myself.

Boosted,
No I'm still totally intersted and willing to make the drive to pick it up. According to my map program, I could be in Danville in 6hrs. $150 was actually the number I was thinking of.
I'll take your offer if you are willing.
