You guys have way more knowledge than I as to cam grinds and what to get for specific applications, impressed. That said, the 360, for the Duster in signature (many years out before it'll be anywhere near running) that I had sold to a Navy buddy back in 86 (entire well running car) and reacquired in 95 (then not running and presently a shell, only thing left in/on it is rear glass) long story. Anyhow, while he had it he decided to rebuild the engine, not sure why? After I had it in storage for many years, probably around 2011 I decided to begin disassembly of the car (needs full floor, lower 1/4 sections and so forth) I tore the engine down for inspection (must have not cleaned block after machining = metal shards left in block, oil pump vanes scared, bearings near wiped - crank, pistons, cylinders good, needs bearings yada, yada) I noticed it had a Purple Stick (MoPar cam) not sure how to see what it is, didn't notice any numbers on the ends, but has several different paint colors on the stick in different areas. Does Direct Connection still even exist, how can I find out (Layman's terms please) what it actually is?
Plan for this engine is, hone cylinders, polish crank, new rings & bearings and get it running (well after metal, paint & body are done). If it blows then big block time.

He said he put 2.02 valves in the heads but, I haven't micrometer'ed the valves so who knows. Biggest mistake he made, other than not properly cleaning the block before he assembled, at least in my opinion was having a friend - who only ever worked on GMs - no offense - help him put it together and get it running, which is why I feel he said he had 2.02 valves installed in the heads...

Thanks.
