Default problem located

I was off today so I took another look at the block in question. I was turning the crank by hand and noticed what I thought was too long an interval between the up and down movement of the piston. Long story short both the rod bearings were loose on #1 and #5. I checked another cylinder the stroke is 3.500, number one was giving a false indication. Maybe whoever built it didn't torque these properly? Crank didn't look bad though, tightened them up and had correct stroke reading.

So a 360 with 040 overbore. Will tear the rest of the way down and have the block checked.
