New block - what else should I replace?

[coullstar 0]

Right Ive been waying up the various options if my cylinders has gone oval. Luckily I have been offered a 2nd hand 2.9block.

 

My car has had recent clutch, timing chains and a complelty rebuilt head so the only parts I should really replace are bottom end.

 

1. I take it I can run this 2nd hand block (assuming its within tolernace) with my original pistons albeit with new rings?

2. What else should I replace at the same time i.e. big end bearings etc and any idea on prices?

3. If I decided to do this myself what is the minimum I will need in terms of engine lifts etc?

 

Since my car has a had some headwork with a decat and 6 branch Im thinking that I may as well through in some Schimmel cams. Ive just bought a generic remapped chip from Stealth for cams, inducation and decated exhaust so I reckon this might work out quite well.
