yes i reused mine spinning it to 7200...no problems after 15k miles...
real thing about keeoing lt1's alove is oil pressure...make sure yours is 10 per thousand rpm...if not run a thicker oil....new sending unit...
i changed my oil every 1500 miles...never had a problem stock bottom end...cc306 shift points at 6900

You can use ARP fasteners if you want to resize the rods, but it's not even worth doing because by the time you are done with that you are more than half way to what a new set of rods costs.
You can use to ARP main bolts too but you might need a line hone.
Just stick with the stock stuff, it is reusable, it is not torque to yield, and it is more than enough for what you are doing.
The only bolts you should replace are the head bolts. Here I would get some ARPs because they are ~$50 and you can reuse them about as many times as you want.
