Resleeved that cylinder,bored it 030 over ,new pistons ,ground crank,cam and lifters,rebuilt head,new exhaust valves,line bored block,decked head and block,magnafluxed everything. Used a lot of info off this site setting it up ,timing the distributor,and running it in,ran like a dream,one small oil leak at one of the oil filter lines,easy fix. I can't wait to get it back in the truck.
