Well...

everything important is in the book...so
that's that unless you have a specific question as to the value of any 
particular
item YOU care to mention, considering I
don't know the state of tune you plan, etc.

However, I would suggest at least
having the rotating assembly balanced to at
least street spec for a much smoother engine, state of tune or application
notwithstanding.

The nitriding on the EN16T cranks is only
20 thou thick. So if the crank needs to be
turned, you might consider re-nitriding.

Make sure the block is hot tanked or otherwise thoroughly cleaned internally
(water passeges, etc. & plan on new cam
bearings accordingly).

While the engine is being done, see to the
condition of the externals....alt/gen, starter,
distributor, radiator, etc.

You gonna be running "stock"??
