If I was on a budget, I would buy a rebuilt engine from deansbimmer with replaced rod and main bearings. If I was not on a budget, I would build a motor with a stroker crank and stronger rods and aftermarket pistons with slightly lower compression for a future supercharger.

Hopefully your motor is ok but you don't know until it is disassembled. If there is a rod or main bearing seizure, the block and/or crank may not be any good. This is very unfortunate for those who experience it. Let us know If your rod bearings are fine but a main bearing seized. Sometimes a failed rod bearing results in metal debris that caused main bearing failure. I replaced my rod bearings but main bearing failures start increasing, I will probably change those preventatively -- maybe when I have the trans off to do the clutch in a couple of years.
