Then again, you could take Mr Fandango's advice mixed in with this advice from Jimbo, so if your engine isn't smoking at all (including start-up) you could say the bores will be ok, but give them a thorough inspection and if ok, then forged rods and suitable shells and standard (original) pistons with fresh rings. Then as Gavin (Merc85) suggests replace the service items, pulleys, water pump, seals etc, and you should have a cracking engine for small money and you know everything should be great for years to come

You could go Dean's (WoodyT5) route, do all the supporting mods, get a decent map, and leave the internals standard.
Yup, looking at it, I think this is pretty much what i'm going to do. If I was looking to really push the boat out on the BHP side of things, i'd go with the rebore and larger pistons, but for a safe and steady all-day-long 320 I think the standard should be fine.
That and it means i'll be able to get it done sooner. Hopefully within the next 12 months for engine, turbo, fmic, suspension, LSD, then onto LPG conversion and saving for paint...
