i too, have decided to build a new engine , i have chosen to do a 383 chevy for a fast street car with a little strip time but nothing serous.
i know the block i have is pushing it a bit being a too bolt , so i'm trying to keep it to a 6000 rpm max to make lasts and to keep it togiver.
here is what i have done to the block and a list of parts i have put togever.
please dont be to hard on my lists of parts as this is what i have areadly and got on my best knowlage at had at the time.

.30 over decked e.c.t , arp studs , reworked moroso std oil pump with anticavitiation grooves , have cleaned up rear main cap where the oil pump bolts too.
streamlined filter mount area and passage to filter and exits.
cleaned and opened up areas that drain the oil back to crank case.
fitted brass standpipes in valley floor.ground down the two large holes at the front of the block , now oil retune through front and rear of block.
have a scat 383 strocker kit with 3.75 forged crank , scat premium 6" rods with 7/16 bolts.
pistons are probe forged sprotman race series with 12.80cc dish , moly ring set.
heads are air flow research 195cc with 65cc chambers with 2.050 intake valve and 1.6 ex valve.
