At this stage in my life (made many mistakes along the way and have learned so much from doing that ) If this was my build I would spend once cry once ( somethings and some parts you never cheap on ) First Have the machine shop look at the walls and see if a light hone would smooth them out ( I’m not a huge fan of dingle ball hone jobs but in a pinch or on a budget they work and you can do them at home to save machine shop costs👌) or worst case if you would have to bore them and if light hone is not an option and have to take some meat out of the bores then what new pistons size to keep as much meat on the walls as possible without having to get “custom” pistons made And for piece of mind do new cam and rod bearings while it’s at the machine shop ( but have them check the bore of the rods as you might have to get them rods line bored to make sure there all true and squared to each other and then that will give you new bearing clearances needed for new rod bearings )👌 Then you know your bottom end it’s done right and should have no worries about bottom end reliability 👌 But like I said I have learned many many things and failure is a expensive but great teacher and this is just how I would do it now🤓 but…10-15years ago I would have said just slap it together and send it,

@Jared Hill best decision your gona make🤓might be a little cost up front but big saving on the end game 👌 the knowing you did them and peace of mind you’ll have is well worth the cost😎
