Pride gone... asking for help

I rebuilt mine stock for around $1100, including all new pistons, rings, bearings, timing chain, very mild cam and reground lifters and blueprinted oil pump from Doug Dutra; machine work included block cleaned and cooked and a long bath in the derusting tank, then rebored, and a full head workover (many valves replaced and new guides installed), with the head shaved a bit. I did the final assembly and advanced the cam timing with my own parts.

This motor is pretty simple to learn IMHO if you have done others.
