New crank? new bearings? new cam? new rings... fuck. Take a page out of the book of Chiltons. NOTHING gets replaced unless it is out of spec. You're building a motor, not a china doll collection.
Yea...thinking like that is what engine builders love......

Always build the short block the BEST you can afford..then go up a step or two.

Oh yea, one more thing......I do not know of one TRUE engine builder that uses Chiltons for building an engine
