Buying a 360 engine, need advice

My Dad has more experience with engines than I do (though I'm not sure how much exactly).
I need to find some literature on rebuilding engines and transmissions because I really don't know a damn thing about the inner workings or parts. So I can't really say what the plans are. :newb:

Hummm... A tap may something fairly simple or something major. With that many miles on it and him saying it was making noise I'd say it needs a complete rebuild. $100 is cheap enough so if your game to learn it'd be a good start. The book Poisondart recommended is decent. If you can get your hands on a factory service manual that covers magnum engines that'll help too.
