Default Basic freshen up

I have a used short block to go in my Z. It has 125 k on it so I thought some new bearing and piston rings might be in order. This is a budget build or I would have bought a forged shortblock. I would like some suggestions on parts. Ie: arp rod bolts, durabond cam bearings, rings???, and such. As for the future of this car, It will see a cam , 3200 stall , LTs, and maybe a 100 shot one day.
Thanks in advance for playing.

At least replacement pistons, block hone and prep, new Katech rod bolts, bearings and assembly with blueprinting.

Good street/strip piston rings, If the bore and piston clearance is good, I will reuse the slugs.
