Over the weekend I pulled the engine I planned on using for my 63 and began to to partially disassemble. I only wanted to reseal the intake and checked the bearings. After removing intake and oil pan I found some interesting stuff

I'll let the pics show.

What do you guys think. Rebuild the 305 or find a roller 350 block. The 305 could use punched out and crank possibly ground. I could get the machine work done possibly at the tech school I went to if my instructor had time for relativly cheap. I believe the stock engine kit was around $230.00. The plan was to have the truck as daily driver. Also 6 out of 8 top compression rings shattered when knocking out...

Thats not john deere paint either lol
