'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

Got the block stripped down tonight. Cam and valve springs will be here Friday. Taking the block to get hot tanked and inspected tomorrow. Cylinder walls look good, had the slightest groove on a rod bearing. Will inspect it more closely… hoping it’ll be alright with a polish and new bearings.

Also, what’s up with the red coated main bearing? Never seen that before…
