enginebldr kit. Arp for the rod bolts. Do not reuse the old rod bolts they suffer from fatigue.

has the core engine ever been overheated?

ideally you would take the bare block to a machine shop and have the deck checked for straightness, the crank bore and piston bores checked for roundness, cross-hatch in the bore, etc.

they should only have to cut the deck if it's warped, but if they do that, you'll need to also have them cut the top of the timing gear cover to match.

you might get lucky and just have to run a hone through the piston bore, and build it... if the crank bore has to be align-bored, or the crank turned, it'll require a different size of bearing, so you want to know what the measurements are before ordering the bearings.

the machine shop should also measure the piston bore to make sure it's perfectly round, if not they'll probably have to bore it out, which i think means that it'll need bigger diameter pistons and rings than stock.

so don't spend a penny until you get the block evaluated, and if the block needs a lot of expensive work, it might be better to find another one.
