Why would you spend more money on machine work on your block instead of getting a 4 bolt main pre-machined block that just needs a final hone? Not to mention I am unaware when GM went from hydraulic to roller setups (I know its around the year of your motor).
Summit block is a heck of a deal, ohio crank has some good stuff that the big-name companies can't beat price wise. You can pick up a set of vortec heads for next to nothing and rebuild them with beehive springs and pump out 400 horses. Won't get much cheaper then that. Under 3 grand can build a long block with mainly new parts.
