There is a prety good book you can get from summit it is called How to rebuild chevy engines by Tom Wilson by HP Books.There is alot of useful info in the books on how to remove and install engins. also on casting numbers on the blocks and heads. And how to run test on engines. Any book would help you learn and understand. Its how I started and taught myself. Good luck to you on your project. I hope to have mine done before spring.
