what to tell the machine shop

I am taking a 300 to the machine shop for a quality rebuild. The head is already done with over size valves, p&p.

I plan to have it bored .030 over, balanced, have the mains checked for alignment, have the crank turned and polished, the rods reconditioned, new cam bearings installed, the block magnafluxed, brass freeze plugs installed, ARP rod bolts used, and have .020 shaved off the block.

Can anyone add anything? Anything missing?

Did you buy pistons yet? The shop needs the pistons to fit them to the individual bores with the correct clearance.
