Default engine rebuilding,

hi im looking for advice regarding cvh rebuilding, i dont want to know how to do it, just the parts you need , main components you have to replace,and ones that will be ok to use,
ie, my 107k mile cvh,191bhp and tired engine. rebuilding to same sort of spec but with a piper cam,and a stg 1 turbo
i know it might look stupid to some of you to ask a question like this, but i want to start trying to get some more parts im going to need,

i have a new sump pan,
new gaskets for the top end already,headbolts ect,
i am going to get a new water pump, and oil pump,cambelt tentioner,piper cam,and the stg 1 turbo,valves ect, thats all sorted

its the bottom end i need advice about,

what does it involve rebuilding the bottom end, i havent a clue to be honest,

i guess the block is ok as it is, ?

do you need a new crankshaft.?????????
i guess i need conrods, .as i dont trust mine ,and shit myself,every time i cane it,apart from the crank and rods, what else will i need,
do pistons need replacing,???????????
the reason for the rebuild is just for peace of mind i dont snap a rod, its been chipped for a while now, i have 100 reliability from the engine, but i dont think i should push my luck, i want to run it down the pod, but think its going to blow up, and bottle it, untill i get it rebuilt.that is


cheers for advice guys,
regards dave
