I finally got an angle grinder, so I could grind off the bolt holding the fenders to the running boards. I pulled that whole unit off and put it on the box for storage.
If I'm going to be putting new wiring into the truck, so I need to keep anything from the stock setup? or can it all be pulled and trashed?

I got my new engine today. I started tearing it apart to check out the condition of the internals. I took some picture of the cylinders. They are not scratched, but have some surface rust in a few of the cylinders. What should I use to remove this. Will I need to use a hone?
My plan for it is to strip it down to the block. Probably put new bearings in while it's tore apart, as well as rings.
I am hoping to put a new cam, intake and carb on as well.
I noticed the castings on the head is D5AE-CA. Acording to the link below, they are the same as the 69-74 head with the addition of air injection ports. I know this has something to do with the emissions, but what exactly are they for. In canada we have no emission laws, so I would like to remove all the smog/emissions stuff if I can.

When I got my flathead freed up back in the summer, it shot an unbelievable amount of nuts and grass and typical rats nest material out the tailpipe. It covered my garage floor behind the truck. But now I'm paranoid after looking at that picture of that oil pan and crank. I've never seen anything that bad.
