Judging from your post I'm going to guess that you've never rebuilt an engine. I'd recommend picking up a book and getting familiar with the process before diving in.

You need to pull the motor out , strip it down to the short block , then take it and the heads to a good machine shop to see what it needs and have it have it rebuilt , then put it back together ....Lew

How many miles is on the motor?

Some/most can be done in your garage if you're on a budget; inspecting the bearings, journals and cylinder walls.

There really isn't anything difficult about a rebuild, it's just a little time consuming.

rebuild a 302

I'm sorry guyz, yes i have rebuilt a motor an pulled a motor. it was a Honda motor, just never a v8. my ? is once the block is done do i have to use over sized piston if i get the cylinder honed i was told i do but never did that with a Honda unless i was goin bigger but in this case im not just want standard hone.

That depends on the math...
bring the pistons with you when you take the block in, they will measure.and answer your question. Most likely if your motor is high mileage, you will need to go oversize pistons
