decided not to go with long block from dss or vt and deciding to rebuild stock block that i have in my garage with forged internals, better crank, cams, heads, etc. i know that these companies sale rotating assemblies so thats probably what i will do. what all do i need to do to prep the stock block for the rebuild? probably will stay with same displacement, might bump it up a little.

You'll need to have the block checked out before deciding on displacement. Also don't forget to have the rotating assembly balanced. Most companies that sell the RA's will do it but it is an extra charge.

IMO i would decide on the rotating assembly you want and have a local shop put the shortblock together.
