Ok, sorry to have to ask this, but I'm in the dark totally. What do I need to look out for, replace, or otherwise definitely do when I rebuild the 350 for my 72?
It's all torn down to the bare block, repainted. The cylinders are all smooth, and look pretty good. The pistons and rods seem decent, too, as well as the crank. All the bearing surfaces seem very smooth and unscathed. I want to send it to the machine shop to have it looked over, but what do I need looked over exactly? This is my first experience with anything more compilcated than changing the oil, so I petty well have little idea as to what I'm doing. I got a book titled "Haynes Chevrolet engine overhaul manual," and have been reading up on it. i would like to try and avoid and costly rookie mistakes it possible. Any and all help is appreciated.
