mild 360 rebuild questions

I have a ball hone if you want to run the cheap "clean up" as referenced here. I'm only 1 1/2 hours south of you. Bring it down and we can give it a quick hone.

I wouldn't recommend changing cam bearings yourself if you have not done it before. They can be tricky. You have to make sure that all of the oil holes in the bearings and block line up. If you don't get it right the first time, you will have to buy another set of bearings just to replace the one you f'ed up.

If you had 140 lbs compression, then your block should be in pretty decent shape as it is.

And the whiplash cam should work well in it. I also agree about the cam bearings. If they look ok, leave them in. Unless the machine shop does boring and honing, then its good to remove them to fully clean all oil passages.
