I think maybe you should tell us what your goals are with the engine/car.

Look into Lloyd Elliot or Advanced Induction for top-end (heads/cam/intake) packages. You will meet your goal with them.

Just get a junkyard shortblock then, go and put cheap aftermarket rotating assembly in there and it will be a step backwards.

1. Decide what your budget/goals are.
2. Take the engine to the machine shop to check it out, see if needs bored.
3. Start ordering parts.
