Will this get me a prepped block?

I've been beating this subject in my head. Finally got a little money saved for machine work. Rough estimate is about $500 for just block. Basically what I want is a good foundation on my 440 build. 450-500hp estimated. Here is what I have on my list anything else I should do?

Clean and crack check block.
Bore and hone with torque plate
Press pistons to new rods
balance rotating assembly
Square deck


Heads
Clean and check
3 angle VJ
bronze guides
