this kit will completely freshen up the bottom end

well that kit is to freshen up the bottem end...not completley rebuild it...yes it is ready to install...but it is always a good idea to hoane the cylinders...as for the crank and rods...it depends on the condition of them...the crank could be turned and would be fine..you would just need oversized bearings...same for the rods...as long as there in good shape
Check this thread for some info as well...

i dont remember who said this but im gonna quote it "Cheap and performance dont go hand in hand" But as far as you spraying nitrous i have no idea...im ignorant when it comes to that stuff..lol
You want to spray a fairly large shot and do a half *** refresh on a motor with almost 200k miles?
How about this...
Spend the 750 on the nitrous kit, spray what you got, and buy a complete short block and 1700 dollar heads later, when it goes up in pieces.
Or buy the 750 nitrous and 1700 buck heads now, spend 500 on a half *** refresh, and buy a short block later, when it goes to pieces. Oh... and 600 or so to rebuild the heads which will be damaged by the lower end coming apart.
Second way costs more... and may not last as long as the first way.
And one way or another, if you want to make power on spray, and have the motor live, you're gonna have to spend around 3 grand on a forged bottom end.
