It all depends on his budget.

Stock parts work best but are pricey for those with strapped cash. In that case, a good hone on a drill works well and a micropolished crank. Match all that up with Topline piston rings, a Felpro bottom end gasket kit and ACL bearings and you will be happy with the results. I've done both and to be honest, the Topline/ACL motor turned out better (which was probably due to it being my third motor job and having a little more experience).

ok so my buddy is not rebuilding the '6. he's selling it to buy a cyclone instead, how much can I offer for this and still be fair to both of us? it is only going to be a block, main caps, bearings, rods, pistons, rings, etc. (short block)? I'm thinking 300? yes?, no? buy yhe way it has 173K and only rev's to like 2500 with 3-6 psi in the car that it's in now
