First off, welcome aboard!
Secondly, you need to pul the motor apart to see what the condition of the block is. If you are lucky, perhaps you can get buy with a cleanup on the cylinders and not need new slugs. That being said, if you have a local machine shop you favor, they can probably get all you need for the upgrade (crank and rods) and still re-use the 360 pistons. The shop I use was able to get me parts for the same or less than a kit would run....
