1965 300L

[Chris Davis <pngkid@xxxx>]

I finally got my L to my house where I can work on it. The first thing I 
did was get the seats and wet carpet out. The car had been sitting since 
1971 so the keys had been lost. The floor has no rust through and the 
trunk is great. It needs a right front fender and a windshield. Found 
the build sheet in perfect condition. The car needs everything interior 
(carpet to headliner - package shelf to dash pad. I will check with 
Goers/Legendary on interior pieces - any other suggestions? . Since I 
bought it the radiator and power steering pump have been stolen as well 
as the horn ring, emblem between the rear seatbacks, and the console 
medallion. Where can I locate these 'L' specific medallions and emblems 
for the interior?
The block pad is marked with a maltese cross indicating an undersized 
crank // would that be on rods or mains or both? I removed the heads 
(one rusted/stuck valve) and was able to turn the engine over (sprayed 
with PB Blaster) without much trouble although there is a rust ring in 
the cylinders (should clean up with honing). One rocker arm shaft was 
installed upside down (oil holes up).
I will be pulling the engine and transmission to check out completely. 
I am thinking of reringing the engine since there is very little 
cylinder wear (odometer shows 19000 miles). Should I rering or save for 
an overbore? I would be putting 452 heads on it.

Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated,
