Very good thread im going to continue reading it. however i neglected to mention, the engine block, crankshaft and cylinder head were both cleaned and machined. block bored .020 over. I found a master rebuild kit on Rockauto for around 275 bucks. it doesnt come with a cam. so i guess some of the advise i was looking for was where to get parts at a good price, and what brands to stay away from too. thanks ALL for your responses!
