Don't want to sound negative, but if you're gonna do all of that, you might as well yank it. Rebuild/replace it and you won't have to worry about for a long time. I tried to do things "in" the eng. compartment and it seems like it's more trouble than removal.
My 2-cents.
 
That sounds like great stuff but the cost would kill me and make alot longer the rebuild job as the money came in. I can see me getting the bore done w/ chevy pistons, but not the expensive add-ins. I am cheap, after all. Course, if my block is in good shape shape (or needs min. boring) as is the crank, I go standard. I don't need to "hit the speed" so to speak. I'm for showing off the car and cruisen AND gas mileage. Let's face it, I'm 50 and I'm not out to impress the highschool/collage girls .:)
