Father son project

[53z28]

Hello and thank you !

Working on a 83 z28 with my son. Started with a worn out 305, then a decent 350 .030 , cam , headers. That block now has 3 cracks in it after froze last winter ( my fault ,long story)
Now its going to get a 4.8/5.3 since there are a bunch in the junkyards for cheap. I am here to soak up the knowledge you guys are pouring out.
