Thanks bk2life. As I said I am no mechanic and I need all the help I can get. My son can have all machine work done at school. I really hate to show my ignorance but I need to be spoon feed during this rebuild. I am torn between going back totally stock and just adding a new intake, headers and 4 barrel or just slightly upgrading engine. The cylinder walls seem to be ok. I did scar one of the journals on crankshaft when removing pistons so will probably get a new one. Just would like to have a little umphhh to it, not a dragster. Trying to keep cost down and have reliable engine.
