So I've got some updates on things. To replace the rear main ended up requiring me to pull the crank which revealed the main and rod bearings.
The mains look great but most of the rod bearings are worn to the brass. SO, new rod and main bearings are on their way. Thanks to all the people for scrapping these good motors I am having one hell of a time finding parts. The rod bearings are available, but the mains I could only get a set from ebay made by TWR some time ago. I also have a new oil pump and timing chain on the way. Debating on putting a new water pump in as well since I have it apart and that is more "cheap" insurance. As far as I have this motor torn down I almost bit the bullet and purchased a set of rings, mainly because I can see blow by on the bottoms of the walls. Nothing that a can of engine restore can't help with due to how good this engine runs. Anyhow, got the oil pain, valley pan, and motor mounts painted up. Looking perrty good thus far.
