Depends on how you want to rebuild it. Are you going to use forced induction, or do you want a mostly stock setup?

On my rebuild I used a stock bottom end that had machinework done by LME, but I had to get new pistons (I got Wisecos), ported stock heads, a TSP XS 233/239 cam, 78mm FAST intake and 78mm FAST throttle body, ARP rod bolts and head bolts. Does that help?
