I'm Awesome
So, I'm finally getting all of my ducks in a row for putting a 383 stroker in my truck. Being completely upfront here, I've never done this before, but what's the purpose of having multiple vehicles if I can't garage one for a few weeks to get a major upgrade done? Because I'm newb to engine rebuilding, I would like some direction on how to go about this, and what parts I need.
I'm pulling my Vortec 350 out, and having it machined, I know I need to have it bored .030" over, what else needs to be done to the block and the heads while it's at the machine shop?
As for parts, I'm looking at this rotating assembly from Eagle

I'd also like to rebuild the heads while I'm there, truck is always going to be naturally aspirated, and I want to run at about 10:1 compression or less so I can continue running regular gas. Does anybody have a recommended cam and valve train setup for rebuilding the heads? I'm looking for a flat torque curve, and will be having the ECM tuned as well.
Other than the assorted running gear (water pump, oil pump, etc.) what else do I need to get this done? I understand the mechanics of it, but I'm not sure what is and isn't included in these kits that I need to purchase to get the engine fully rebuilt.
