360 Re-Ring? Temporary Engine. Will it run fer a year?

If I were in your shoes, I'd do a bead hone. Actually, I'd just try to find a reasonable mileage 89-91 hydraulic roller 360 at the junkyard and use that as is!

I'd say the answer depends primarily on what kind of shape the block is in now and how many miles you drive in a year.

If it was running good, why pull it? Did you leak it down?

depending on cam and RPM predictions, I'd guess you'd be ok with the factory keepers and such, barring the 74 using some weird fragile thing, but I'm not buying you a new motor if it drops a valve either! ;)

Good luck!
