Made some progress into evaluating the engine;
Engine was partially rebuilt in 1978 (date code on bearings), 30 0ver pistons were installed but head was untouched.
Original H cam is still there and in great shape, valve seals were all dried up, oil pump is beautiful, I'll need 40 0ver pistons, bore is beautiful looking but a touch loose on the pistons. EGGE is the only make I've found so far for them. I'm a stock kind of guy, I just want a smooth quiet engine so I prefer to avoid forged pistons.
