Hey, picked up a 1958 348, so the rebuild begins. Hopefully I can find some tips and advice here.

Welcome aboard, don't worry about hopefully, there is more knowledge here than anywhere.
Good luck with the build.

Bad news, my engine guy says he's tried for a week but the siezed pistons won't budge, now on the hunt for another block.

 

[Jim Sullivan]

Both my 409 and my 348 had seized pistons. I had to bust a piston or two to remove them out of each engine. Blocks just needed to be bored .030" to clean up the cylinder walls. I believe it was mentioned in a previous thread about using a method of drilling a series of holes in the pistons to aid in their removal. Maybe give that a try?
