I am pulling it and taking it all to the machine shop to have all the clearances checked. First time pulling a motor and really it is not to hard just kinda messy lol. This is where I am at so far. Need to go buy bolt to put it on the engine stand. 4 bolts that are just finger tight and it is out. Thanks for the reply. I will probably be asking more questions in the future about parts combinations and reassembly so lol.
Cylinder Walls good or bad? Pic heavy

Pinning rocker studs is a PITA and very old school. I bought screw in studs from speedway that do not require milling the stud bosses. They also sell a tool to ensure that the tap runs true when tapping the heads.

So I am fairly happy. The block is 3970010 with the marking 010 and 020 by the oil filter housing and a 4 bolt main. So if I did my research correctly it is it has extra tin and nickel in it and a fairly desirable block.
The bad is that it has already been bored over .040 from what I have been told. So hopefully it only takes .010 to clean up the cylinders. Also once removed I seen that the bolt hole by the oil filter housing where the trans bell housing mounts is bad. Not sure if it will make a difference or not.
