Default ***Motor Rebuild Tips***

I am having my motor & transmission rebuilt (350, 200 horse, auto) in my '72. Sometimes it's the little things that make a difference while the motor is apart. I am going 20 over and having 10.5-1 compression piston put in with a mild cam to bump up the horsepower to 300. I would like some thoughts on your experiences on some things maybe you wish you could do over. Nothing major.
This site has been a big help for a rookie like myself.
Thanks, Chris
