My first 350 4 bolt main with a few questions!!!

if you haven't already done it get an overhaul/rebuilding manual. i'm a mechanic and i referred to my haynes constantly. and i'll use it for the next build too. there are a lot of things you'll need right in front of you like torque specs, bearing specs, assemblt tips and tricks, ring mounting, proper break in procedures, ....

i have 2, one for a monte carlo, and one just for rebuilding chevy v8's. the rebuilding book also has stuff on performance upgrades and how cams work, and porting. of course it's old so there was still stuff i had to look up like torque specs for a vortec intake, but you run into that no matter what with aftermarket stuff. for the aftermarket stuff the manufacturer usually tells you everything. like torque on ARP bolts.
