350 thats been sitting up...

For almost a year. Was running perfect at the time...what should i check for? See how the rings look? rust? etc etc

Also will the intake manifold and distrib from my L03 work on a 350?

Yeah it did well with all the hell it went through. The guy i bought it from used to run it every weekend..so it was pretty much ragged out. Had really bad blow by. I think it had a hotter cam then stock in it..guess when i pull it out i'll take a look.
