Yes, the Y-Block book is worthwhile, and the only aftermarket book available. However, it does contain a couple of errors & one or two questionable items. The photo of the timing chain installation is incorrect. And while some might disagree, I'd ignore the stuff about the valley oiling mods. Also get an original manual or copy of one if you can Others on this site may want to comment further..

Oh ok I got it. Thanks hossier and everyone else on here. I bought the "How to repair and rebuild a y block" book on ebay, So I will sit and read a bunch.

It is highly unlikely you would have to "file fit" the rings as supplied.  File fit rings have to be ordered special.  I would still suggest checking them though, mistakes in packaging do occur.

I really want to build it. I just dont understand why i would have "trim" the rings if they came with the .60 over pistons from the machine shop.

I know he is busy from time to time but I would recommend Tim (mctim64) from this site.  He did my 272 this winter and was great to deal with.  Bing

If you aren't comfy building your Y-block, maybe you can have an experienced engine builder do it for you.  If you tell us where you live, I'm sure someone here will steer you towards a good engine builder/machine shop.  Everything you need is still available.

Did they change your cam bearings?  Might be a good idea since you are getting a new cam.  Pay particular attention to the center cam bearing and holes orientation as they feed oil to the heads.

While you're at it, get a good roller chain set.
"G" heads and 113 heads are the best with 1.92" intake valves.  If the valve seats are shot, put hardened seats in the exahust side for unleaded gas.
Do you have good rocker shafts?  Each rocker arm has two oil holes.  Are yours clear of dirt and varnish?
You didn't mention rod bearings...
How about moly rings?  When you buy rings, they will be "file to fit" if you want them that way.
Normally, the machine shop measures the pistons, and hones the bores to them within .002" max clearance. 
Buy a "Best Full Gasket Set".  It's less expensive than Fel-Pro, and has neoprene rear seals.
