Ok I Know a lot of this is going to be hack job so if you are squeamish stop reading.
The 361 is oil fouling plugs every 300-500 miles so it has to go. I have the 413 out of a 62 new yorker. It is getting rebuilt/freshened up and put in. In the future it will probably get a 440/833od and a 9inch but for now the 413 is it. Dad and I yanked the motor apart this week and got the block off to the machine shop for a hot tank and cam bearings because I dinged the heck out of one using the slide hammer to get the cam out. (I had thoughts of Brian's build as I did it) The bottom end doesn't look too bad. The crank has a couple thousandths of taper and the piston bore's have a bit of ring wear. Maybe .010 enough to catch a finger nail. Woody my machinist didn't seem too worried about me running a quick hone down the bore's and slapping it together for 10 or 15 thousand miles.
The first of my questions. I need a ring and bearing rebuild kit (timing gear, oil pump, gaskets, the usual stuff) Any one have a good source?
Second question how would you prep the block to minimize ring damage on the existing grove? Should I even worry about it?
Third question what cam to use? I need to keep the stock springs. The original cam had a .390 int/exu. Im not afraid of it being too big other than spring bind. (header's to 2 1/4 duals, edelbrock performer, 700 cfm carter style carb, stock 3speed and original 3.58 to 1 rear)
No damage other than a rusty cam from the rust hole in the valley pan.
Thanks in advance
Steve
