[DeTomaso] Broken Block

[asajay at asajay.com]

I know I'm late on this, but I'd say -no-.  don't bother.  If  
something has been broken off, even if it's only the motor mount, my  
fear there would be more damage found inside due to the same stresses  
that broke the mount.  I know it's a big loss, but I'd salvage  
everything from -inside- the block and chuck the block.
