Balance your rotating assembly,
Line honing (the mains too cause I suggest spending the cash on some ARP main studs)
Machining the block for the extra stroke (if need be) it's gotta be checked.

Since you're going balls to the wall on the build, might as well do EVERYTHING to make sure it's perfect. Doesn't make sense to short cut something that you'll worry about later.

That is true. I haven't decided what I'm going to do, but I'm gonna go check out a machine shop and I need to make sure they can do everything I'll need done should I go that route. It looks like a good machine shop from their website.
