I found a good b234R block and had the machine shop check it out and he said it was in great shape and that the piston rings were not even fully broke in yet :-) There are decent b234r blocks out there and even if they had some age, you could re-ring the pistons and hone the cylinder walls and have a tight fit again :-) My race engine builder said the crank and rods are very beafy and would not recommend replacing them even if I went for 600bhp, he stated they were the same size as a small block chevy 350!
The pistons would need to be forged for that power though and its always a good idea to replace the main and rod bearings, per my race engine builder.
Good Luck, John
