Sounds like you're good for now on the tech library. The only thing I might add would be a Bentley manual.

The only good way to check for the cams is to send them out to a cam shop and have them measured. There are other round-about ways: check the overlap on the cam timing and then compare it to the chart in my book, or actually measure lift on the cam as you rotate the crank with a degree wheel.

"Ive got the engine out of the car, what do i need to do now? "

Read chapters 1-7 of the rebuild book?

"How do I tell if it has already been punched out? "

I'm confused on your nomenclature here? What does "punched out" mean?

I'm building a short stroke 3.2 right now with the following:
3.0 Euro Carrera aluminum case
3.2 RSR upgrade pistons for the 3.0 rods
2.7 crank and rods (can be used with 3.0 case)
Turbo Heads ported, and twin plugged
Weber 40s (good for street, 46s would be ideal for track)
Twin Electromotive HPX ignition systems

Cost: $10K-$12K retail.

You wouldn't be able to build this engine using your engine case...
