Default 68 327/350 rebuild

OK guys, have blockapart and cutpiston ridges. Now shop says I have to go .30 over to clean up cyls. .007 out at top and .005 at bottom. Trying to decide to go with honing only or all the waywith bore. I got car from friend who the prev. owner said was rebuilt 5000 mi ago. Right??After tearing apart find it's a true '68 327/350 w/double hump 64cc and large journal crank and CE warranty motor. My good luck!! Going with Lunati 60103 and Performer carb (came w/car). Will use car for cruising and occasional stoplight action. Do you think this needs bore job or am I getting the 'it's a vette so lets get him?' I'm w/all the old school motorheads here. If going w/bore what's a good piston to keep comp around original10.75-11.00 CR? Thanks guys.

Hello Ttoptom, not sure if you said that's an original motor but if it is, just put it away and get a crate motor. A 68 matching # Vette will be worth money someday. PG.
