    not so much what parts you have but what you do with them as for prep it is not so much Ato B there alot of small things that builders do that make them live and get more power out of them . as a builder i do not care much about a casting number one from block to another long as parts will bolt up or can. what i meen is if your mixing mark 4.5.6 parts .size of bore piston to wall .deck plated .pin fit. end gap . mains and rods size . re work the piston domes . stuff like that then cam number help and whats been done to heads what size valves .what is the cc of the chamber s whats a very old head about 109 cc 375 hp head . whats the cc of the piston dome . so not to be to hard on you have not told me much steel cranks and four bolt mains do not make them run any faster and you pick out the cam so ? its a done deal
