360 Magnum building on an existing bottom end
After looking at the engine for a period of time I decided to do the minimum just short of taking it to a machine shop. I'm going to do a home polishing of the crankshaft, replace all the bearings, hone the cylinders and get a set of hyper-Eutectic flat top pistons and a set of molly rings. This way the engine is completely freshened up with out the expense of a trip to the machine shop. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos, not that YouTube is a replacement for experience, but I feel confident enough to be able to accomplish the task. Besides The flat top pistons will help to boost the compression a bit. I may also clean the block up as best as I can and then have it hot tanked, which shouldn't be to expensive. I may also consider a balance of the rotating group, depending on the cost. So there you have it.
