Now for the next step in the chain. Engine rebuild. Since this is just gonna be used for the time being to drive back and forth to the dump and haul stuff every now and then I dont really want to put alot of money in it and i want to keep it mostly original. So here is what im thinking. Pull the 307 out and clean it up and re-ring and bearing it providing the cylinders can be honed and arent too worn. I have a complete gasket set and a set of main bearings and half a set of rod bearings providing its a large journal 327 crank and i can use 350 bearings which i think it is. For heads i have a set of 99 vortec heads and a 4bbl intake to go on it. Everything else is pretty cheap to come buy so i should be able to build it inside of an weekend for little to nothing. So what do yall think?
