And I've made a list, I hope it doesn't come out too long.
Mopar Performance Head Bolts

Sealed Power Rings

Clevite 77 Main Bearings

Clevite 77 Rod Bearings

Intermediate Shaft Bushings

Mahle 2.5 Pistons

T-2 Rod Bushings

89-up Lower Gasket Set

Cam/Intermediate Shaft Seal

Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gasket

Mopar Oil Pump/pickup

MP 2006 Head Gasket

Plastigage

Timing Belt Tensioner

I figure that should cover the block. Is all of that ok for 13 second 1/4 power level, considering I will intercool it with +40s for fuel, 255 LPH Walbro, and an AFPR?
I would get an EGT guage or a DD a/f meter.

Also, the block on question is a CB with 187k miles on it, the head is off and I am going to buy a turbo because I believe the oil seal went on the one it has and I'm gonna try to get it to run before I yank it and rebuild, there is some crosshatch on the 2 cylinders I was able to see. What do you all think is a good assumption on how much block work I will need, also if I need any crank work how much can that go up to? Thanks again!

Take it to your nearest reputable engine rebuilders and show them the stuff. We can't tell you over the internet since the stuff needs to be measure accurately. Most likely at least a fresh hone and a hot tank.

If everything is bad:
Bore and hone
Crank grind
re-size rods
deck block
align hone the block
hot tank
