Thanks for all the reply's...
So do we have an ordered list of things to do for the best "bang for the buck" in order of most needed to least needed to get to a 100% build?
1- Pay someone if you don't have the right tools (possibly assemble yourself though)
2- New bearings and rings
3- Clean up the valve seats
4- Deck the head
5- Increase piston size
6- Port match
7- Balancing
8- New parts (what difference does it make beside prevent failure?)
9- Start the expensive stuff, such as balancing as well as flow testing?
10- Add the turbo or custom ecu
Thanks for the additional comments, please fill in or move around the ist for me!!!

Don't Forget New Valve Springs! I also like new oil pumps and pick-up screens. Don't forget a good windage tray, my understanding is the Volvos get about 2 HP from oil control!
Be sure to properly break in the engine, One good intial heat cycle for the rings and springs before you put any load on it is also a good idea.
