Got the 360 off the hoist and onto the stand. Removed the beat up dizzy (which I am probably going to throw in the trash) and the heavy cast iron ***** of a 2bbl throttle body intake and threw it in the trash.
Mmmmm yeah... Lookit this awesome goodness.
Left side head
Right side head.
Yep, 308s. I'll be able to check for cracks when I can get them cleaned up.
More awesome goodness.
Right side awesomeness. The scratches on the top of the #4 piston were me trying to see how nasty it is.
Cleaning up at the end of the day.
Putting crap on the shelf in a semi-orderly way so I remember where it came from.
Gonna be replacing the head bolts, already have them on the shelf ready to go.
I didn't get any pictures of the pushrods, they are ball-ball, with a hole through the middle.
I got the pan off, haven't removed the oil pump, will be replacing it, as well as the pickup. The pan was a truck pan.
I won't be able to work on it until the first weekend of june. Once I get into the bottom end, I'll see if anything needs to be replaced there.
I may be able to go over the heads before then though. I have a set of 1.5:1 Hughes ductile iron rocker arms, so if I decide to go with them instead of just throwing the old ones back in, I'll be learning how to measure for new pushrods.
The raised area around the edges of the pistons are 0.070" down in the hole. There was hardly any cross hatching in the cylinder bores. I expect that the _least_ I will be doing is honing the bores, and grabbing a set of the KB107 pistons and some new rings. I want to do as much as I can to learn for my big block project. More than likely, I will be having a machine shop clean the block, put in new plugs and bearings.
