Default Used Block, What to have done.

I picked up a used Ls1 5.7 block, I know I am going to have it bored and honed to 3.905, and new cam bearings installed, what else needs to be done?
thanks

Besides what you mentioned, if it were mine, I would get it square decked and line honed also.

I was talking to the machinist the recently about what he thought should be done to my new block. I mentioned line honing and he said that with the different materials between the caps and block that line honing is pretty tricky. The hone has a tendency to dig into the aluminum.
What he told me was to plasitage the crank and not fix something thats not a problem.
