You're correct on the bearing. There must have been some trash in the oil.

No matter how much effort you put into keeping it clean when building etc....it takes a very small piece of dirt to make marks like that.
Not a big concern really.

I know the bores are a little marked, but throw in a couple of pistons/rings, new bearings, and leave it at that.
Unless you intend spending a fortune on more ?

Yes, rebuilding with New Block. Ross Pistons with larger skirts. New Bearings. Better Nitrous Rings. Going to cost around $2500
Cylinder walls may not be able to be honed out. I decided to go with a new block and not take a chance on a thinner wall.
2nd engine I have pulled.
Blower??? Why look at the blower? In any rate, still looking for a D1.

Jeez, Ed, those pics are worse than I thought... You couldn't see any of that damage from the top when we were working on pulling it - but that sure explains the smoke and loss of power.
Still staying with 383 cubes for the rebuild ? Got any leads on a D1 yet ?

Yep 383.
One is more than I can spend. And the other person has not decided to sell or not.
