Once I get the heads off my next focus for a little bit will be scrubbing the **** out of the block and all components. I cant stand how dirty this thing is.

Bringing this back from the dead slightly. Ordered my cam yesterday, and I've got this beast torn down to the block almost. Just need the crank and cam shafts out and then she'll be sent in to be honed and then reasembled for my peace of mind. Went with a variant of the triple 12 from stock48 that has a bit more of a lope to it. Next I'll order a rebuild kit, then I just need a rad and fan as well as the wiring and she'll be getting dropped into the chevy.

Did the junkyard say anything about it having rod knock?
Forgot to mention, you were right to a point. It was rod bearings slightly, but it was mainly the bears on the journals.
