first off....what is your budget and what kinda power are you looking for??.......second to build a motor right and have proper ring seal, bore needs to be checked and if out of spec it may need machine work.

Buy a crate motor, I can tell your working knowledge of an engine is pretty limited. That or buy a good book on building the small block Ford and read it a few times before getting started
