SBC 350. Rebuild in stock.
I have SBC 350, pulled out from Chevy Beauville '79.
I'm form Russia, it's a little bit difficult to buy or bring here new engine.

After "abduction" I found something interresting in the oil pan:

Also please look at this hole in the oil pan


ups, connecting rod



Small bloch chevy 350cid, number 14016379
Engine totally destroyed. Looks like something wrong with oil system.
This 4-bolts engine run with Rochester Quadrajet carb, I want to build stock engine.
I have only block as is, and need to build engine from scratch.
Please advise me what spares I may order according my list. I note some details about each spare - beacuse I dont know enough information yet about really quality spares for Smoll Block - usually we order spares of some popular brands and I'm not sure, is it correct and cheap way.
I need new:
- timing chain kit (I think about COMP Cams kit)
- cam shaft + bearings + push rods + hydraulic lifters (again - I think about COMP Cams kit. Is it good idea to order tuning cam shaft without any tuning in other area of engine?)
- pistons + rings (set of 8) - bore diameter now (before reboring) is 101.74mm. After reboring will be something about 102.20mm or more - anyway I may bore according piston diameter. But I'm not sure about what pistons should I order - what brand, what price - according Summit or RockAuto price starts from 15$. How I may reach balance price/quality?
- connecting rods - the same situation
- new oil pump - ACDelco, Milodon or something elese?
- crankshaft main bearings (size I will detail later - tomorrow I'm going to buy another crankshaft at my local junkyard - anyway it will be better than my crankshaft)
- rod bearings (size I will detail later). Clevite?
- kit of heads bolts. ARP?
- kit with all valves (size will be detailed later, after a will check and measure valve-stem gide)
The main criteria is balance between price and quality of spares - due to very long terms of shipping and weight of spares (= high price of shipping) it's not possible to compare spares here.
Thank you for support, mates!
