i was getting

head resurfaced
block bored with molly finish

I would make sure that the shop is using a torque plate when they do the boring because if they dont, there is a good possibility that it will warp the cylinders. Other then that, i wish you goodluck on the build

I think the name says it all "race bearings". Careful machine work and special attention to the thrust bearing is really the key. ARPs all around is great insurance, but really careful machine work is the key. A turned crank is good for 400-450 hp no problem. BEK and oil port mod and your good to go, if you have'nt done that already.
