rebore or resleeve ford 302

[chevy38]

i am looking at purchasing a 1970 Ford Fairlane, but something is bothering me the gent had a engineering company strip the motor down and found 2 of the cylinders are pitted from standing for some time with water in them, according to what they told him the 2 cylinders will need to be resleeved
now what i want to know is this has anyone had a block resleeved or should i just rebore all 8 cylinders to next size, apparently the other 6 bores are still good
also any idea what sort of price i might be looking at

In my opinion based on my knowledge resleeving may be a viable idea. Reboring, that's also doable but has the motor been rebored before?

I wouldn't recommend either. the old blocks tend to rust from the water jackets into the cylinder bore and re-sleeving will still create water seepage and problems. Best bet is to replace the block.

havent seen the block myself need to ask him to get out to see what the problem is
