Vette(s): 1980 L82 Dark Metallic Green Coupe, Gymkhana Suspension, AM/FM/CB, GM ZZ383....nice....

Vette has 110K miles, Stock 1980 L82 with original steel crank, 4 bolt mains, forged aluminum flat head pistons, and stock compression of 9.0:1.

Getting some new heads, cam, lifters, intake, high flow oil pump, fuel pump etc.

If I end up rebuilding the bottom end I want to be sure it is done right.

Magnaflux block, paint, check original parts (crank, pistons, connecting rods) and reuse if within tolerance? Replace seals, bearings, Is this correct or missing something??

You'll probably have to have it bored with that mileage & have the crankshaft checked & balanced at a machine shop...sound like you're right on with everything else.
