Someone offered me a 350 thats a 010 block with flat top pistons low miles. Wanted to know what I'd give him for it. Dont know if he rebuilt it or someone else.

Here's what said about it.
It had metal in the pan and the rods arnt bad. Mains had some wear from the metal. Car has about 3000 miles reground crank. No knocks or anything so i believe thats what it was.
Did a cam swap prior to the low oil pressure prob it had

If he didn't size the cam journals to the cam bearings correctly... this is where the problem started.
