I would check for a crack already there (then I wouldn't go for it) or if it has a couple hundred plus thousand miles it should be ok to purchase. I also have a 53 block and haven't had any issues with the cracking. I think most of the problems are hyped up and word of mouth made it into a worse issue than it really is. But if its low mileage you still run the chance of it cracking. Either way its a crap shoot, so good luck.
