As Promised.
Visited a fellow FABO member to day and came home with a steel crank, set of floaty pistons and rods (pistons are standard so they won't work with my +.030 bore but we didn't feel like separating them), a set of '67 closed chamber heads and all the valves were in very good condition, some pushrods, and a few minor bits and pieces.
Being old and forgetful, I forgot to bring a mike to check the crank, so no measurements. But we did check all the bearings and the crank and found no indication the crank had been turned sometime in the past. I suppose it is possible the motor was never opened since it had standard pistons. Maybe it has but we didn't find any markings, etc. Measurements will tell the tale. At the very least the crank will need polished.
the heads are casting number 2658920, which shows up as a 1967 273 or 318 with 1.78 intakes and 1.50 exhaust with 62-65.5 cc. I'll have to cc them to find where they fall in that range.
As an aside, the block showed a November or December (can't remember which) 1966 date. I didn't write the casting number down, so I can't pass that on.
So, I'm back to where I really wanted to be: just a nice stock stroke, strong, reliable 318 with some balls.

Thanks everyone for the comments, advice, and help.
