If you're gonna do a rebuild, don't go to the trouble without doing complete machine work. Make sure the bores are round and the texture is correct. I'd recommend getting a machine shop that uses torque plates and an automatic honing machine for the final bore finish. Get the specs for the final piston skirt clearances from the piston manufacturer. If you're serious here, do a more or less blue print. Get the block decked, align honed and everything perfectly square. Make sure the heads are in good shape with a 3 angle valve job and pocket ported. The crank should be turned and new cam bearings and freeze plugs. You'll need a good machine shop for most of this. I wouldn't cut corners if at all possible. It would only come back to bite you. My $.02.
