I know i need to order a shop manual, but I was hoping to start putting the engine on my 1963 223 engine back together. I'm doing a partial rebuild (heads completely rebuilt and stitched 2 cracks, new timing chain, new rod bearings and rings. Debating pushrods and lifters, but those can be replaced any time thanks to the access panel.)
In any case, I don't have the rod bearing clearance specs to know which plastiguages to buy.
Also, does anybody know if there's a place where I can download a shop manual instead of shelling out the $50 they're getting on eBay for it?

 

According to the book, 223 connecting rod bearings to crankshaft clearance is .0009-.0029
