Unfortunately - a fair bit of wear from the pistons at some point, can be felt by finger nail on all 6 cylinders, some worse than others but didn’t get too many photos when with the engine tonight. 
 

if anyone can put me on to an engine rebuild kit for the 3 7/16 inch bore size, would be greatly appreciated! Can find a few for the smaller bore size but not sure I can for the larger just yet. 
 

Also note the wear to the valves - some missing some of the metal around the edges like the one top of picture

No pictures this time, but think we have figured out that what we have is a 251cid 3 7/16"bore, 4 1/2" stroke.

My understanding was that these didn't come out of the factory with a 251, but plenty of other Chrysler cars did (mostly Australian made, I believe) so may have done? Any intel on that would be great!
