Big Block rebuild....need some tips

[rahaul]

Can anyone suggest a link for rebuild tips? It's a simple rering, rods, mains. Ate the cam/ lifters and trashed the engine. Last rebuild was me and Chiltons in 1996. Looking for latest/ greatest tips. I can dig the Chiltons back out if I have to. Engine: '71 454 LS6 crate motor stock bore balanced/ blueprinted 4 bolt / steel crank rods .20 mains .10 rectangle port heads All GM except Bullet cam / Morel roller hydralic lifters Street application Also, in '96 I polished the alum intake and applied 2 coats of Eastwood Polished Alum clear coat. It looked great for 5 or 6 yr but slowly started looking tired. After stripping it I discovered the alum had actually begun to oxidize under the clear coat. Has anyone had better luck with anything else? Thanks in advance

Here's a good book- at a Big Block price-$80+ but there are some used ones out there for $20+.
