Flipper,
Just a couple of thoughts. First, you don't get much gain by boring the engine .030 over. If the bores are good, leave it where it is and save the .030 over for the next rebuild. Second, for the type of engine you're building internal balancing gets to be pretty expensive. You end up with "nonstandard" components for a flywheel and harmonic balancer, and just the cost of mallory metal alone can make your eyes spin. Think I'd stay with the external balance. Cam is probably OK if you have an automatic trans but I might step up the lift a little if I had an manual trans. Otherwise sounds like a pretty good build to me.
