No, not new. After stripping,
the block was cleaned up
Pistons, rods, crank checked
Reassembled with new ACL race bearings, new crank seal etc
and hasnt been ran since.
But no, its not a 'new build' per say.
It is however the ideal basis for a forged big bhp build using the cdb & sell off the orig crank rods pistons etc.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks
