I had a guy watching over me that has done alot of rebuilds. He said the block looked good(said it wouldnt even take .010 to clean it up. Piston cyclinder walls looked real good also. If there is a next step it would be cam and springs with a port and polish on the head(and lump port kit). Not sure if i want to go down that road yet. I am happy how it is......for now.   Think i would rather get started on another project. We will see.

Thanks for the follow up on the results. Yea it's s tough call as to modify or find another to build.
I'm still torn on building or leaving as is since it's a low milage original truck. Yea I know it doesn't change the price or value of the truck. It's just the thought that not many still exist like this.
Decisions decisions. Lol.
