I just rebuilt my 1953 I8 327 9 main bearings. After an easy valve job by a friend I found a stuck hydraulic lifter and some teeth ground off my camshaft. I got a camshaft free. Bought main and rod bearings. New oil pump parts and a few hydraulic lifters that you will not have to worry about. Parts cost about $900 and labor was $750. I put the oil pump, head and distributor back on. I just started it up this week, it only took 6 months.
good luck and have fun.
