I'd sure have the bores checked and pressure check the block before putting any money into it. Also, you may want to sonic check it - so you know what cylinder wall thickness is left (heck, I'd love to know). I'm not a big fan of cast pistons, but if you got em - might as well run them and see how it goes. Me - if the block was good and I had good cylinder walls, would think about putting a bigger stroke crank in it, new forged pistons and making it some BIG cubes! But you know me - I can't help myself! Also, it is easy to spend YOUR money pondering these things. LOL
