So do you think given the scope that in the short block of your engine you have anything salvageable??.

Well, from what I noticed the pistons looked beat. Wasn't planning on re-using them anyway. I guess I really don't need to re-use much on anything other than the pushrods, and if I get lucky maybe they used H-beam rods. That would be nice surprise. Crank won't work as it is a 2 piece, don't really like the cam, and I sure wouldn't re use lifters..Who knows. Guess when I pull it apart I will find out.

Talked to a fellow today at the machine shop, and he informed me that I was correct about the bosses being used for the roller cam, and that if I wish to not use them, that is fine, that I can use a regular cam and lifters and all else is just fine. (I thought so, but I would rather ask.) So looks like we are in good shape. thanks guys.
