what should i do?

well ive started getting my parts for my new build and i took my block to the shop. virgin bore 69 350 2bolt well turns out the no.1 cyl had like a 4in crack. so i tore down the other block i have found out its a 4bolt 010 020 block but already been bored .040 so only thing now is to go .060 over which im skeptical to do. ive got my crank and rods right now forged 5.7 scat stroker rods and scat lightweight stroker crank. i can get another 2bolt 350 from a guy at work for prob less than $100 for complete motor. only thing is idk if its stock bore or not. its really stressing me out lol i really dont want to go .060 and put a bunch of expencive parts in the motor and then have problems. anyone have any sugestions?

Imho I would get the engine from the guy at work and do what you were in the process of doing with the cracked one.
