School me on V8 60's

[51504bat]

Looking at a V8 60 for a potential project but I barely know enough to keep the 8ba in my '39 p/u running so 60's are completely new to me. I searched the forum and came up with some info on water pump issues but not much else. The engine is complete except for a carb from what I can tell. Heads and intake are off. No visible cracks but one cylinder got water in it, possibly from a blown head gasket. It doesn't appear that the damage went through the sleeve. All cylinders are sleeved. There may be a rebuild tag on the bell housing portion of the block but its unreadable. Obviously it will need a complete overhaul. Any specifics to look for or versions to stay away from? The intake is aluminum and a single carb. I believe these used a model 81 carb? Are parts as readily available as a 59 or 8ba? Thanks in advance.
