Looking for opinions on low budget 360 build

After just visually looking at the pictures. That cam an lifters are junk so is the crank. It needs to be bored. You can buy new rods cheaper than it would be to resize yours. The Heads look like they would need everything. You would be better off looking for a good untouched dry LA 360 motor from a "U pull it" yard. Get one from a truck. Put a new timing chain. your pan , pick up , new oil pump. intake and mounts on it.

You could get it running good under $500. ad $200 for cam and lifters . Sounds like you just need a good motor. You got taken on that motor once don't take yourself and waist more money. Its Junk from what I can see and what you said. Just looking at the crank you can see the miles. The cylinders look like they were scuffed up and reassembled. The motor looks like it was assembled on a dirt floor

Well that's my opinion. Sorry

Get one that's clean inside and nobody had there fingers in it. You can't make perfume out of ****. Well you could but it still wouldn't smell good in the end
