You will need your machine shop to check out your crankshaft and re use it. If it has already been turned to 20/20 then you will need to find another that is standard or 10/10 at the most. Your machine shop can clean up your cam shaft and you can reuse it if it passes their inspection. Connecting rods can be reconditioned and reused. Engine bearings should not be reused. Buy new or NOS bearings. Pistons and rings I would purchase new. Also you should get new lifters as well. Also get an aluminum timing gear.
