Default Choosing a used block?

Well,

well I am finally bringing someone home to meet the parents who wont take all the money disappear... Ok, they might... haha I'm picking up a 360 tomorrow and I want to know what to look for? I mean, obviously a 360 lol. I plan on building it up to a 408 but it's just a little project so its not a rush or anything.

I know to look for a vehicle with low miles and try to avoid vehicles with a lot of front-end damage.... Anything else or tips on picking a block? When I get it home, the only other checking I will have to do will be to magnaflux it, correct? I plan on replacing all other parts because I just want the big hunk of metal right now lol.

Anyways, maybe give me a few pointers before I go out!

Thanks,
-Jason
