Hi Hoki06 :!:
As our college from Quebec said take your time. Be clean, methodical and think 4 parts ahead :wink: As you delve into the block make sure it worth rebuilding before you start buying any parts. If you spend a grand on pistons, cam, etc and then find the block is cracked - well, you have bigger headaches.
When you start putting the pieces together, think about how they all need to work together and make sure alignments and rotations are correct -putting on a cam gear/chain out of alignment (and not realizing it) will lead to serious frustration when you try and start the motor and can't figure out why. Then you get to break it all back down and start over on the front side. And remember; on AMC V8's the firing Order is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 with the distributor rotation being Clockwise starting wihth the drivers side cylinder numbering (front to back) : 1 3 5 7. Not that ANY body ever wired a 360 backwards #-o :oops:
You'll be fine-just let us know how it's going and ask ANY question you may have. We've all been there at one time or another. 'Rat
