Cams are about $250 for a regrind, my bad left that out.
Headers aren't necessary, exhaust I included (fabrication parts)

I would give that engine about 1,000 miles before the bottom end gives... The stock rods are a joke, the bearings are 15 years old and definately worn out. No headers?? Do you want to make power?? Because if so you need to look a little more closely to what you are thinking about. Cams will cost $250 for a pair maybe. Not to mention the restrictions put upon you with the profile due to the short valve and short max lift.
I am running a stock long block in my s/c car. I am not expecting the bottom end to last forever but it has held up to about 300-350 AWHP for about 2500 miles now. I am not pushing it further than that.
I like finding the limits of an engine but what you are suggesting is suicide to a stock bottom end
