bearings, all the other gaskets, headwork or at least new valve stem seals. cleaning up the crank, shot peening rods, balancing the rotating assy.

what do u want to do with it?

Looking for over 200hp but also durability

Never heard it called drilling before ?? boring(sp?) the block

180 sounds closer to what it should be
