Re: rebuilding an old school 383 conversion...

WOW, she had a bunch of trash go through those bearings hu!!! This is what a motor looks like when it looses a cam and they think they can just change the cam and oil and it's good to go. The debris just embeds in the bearings and grinds away at the crank (and every other moving part) until someone takes tit apart!

I suspect it's going to need another 0.010 off the crank, and you'll just have to see how bad the bottom of the bores are .

BUT these are ?s only your machinist can answer positively.
