secondhand block, different big end caps and line boring Q !

Say i have a second hand block without its original big end caps but i do have a set of end caps originally from another engine.

both 205 block based and used. I also have a crank that was from neither engine originally

would it be best to get it line bored or would i be better off buying new or ....

any info appreciated

If you use different caps have it line bored and it'll be good as new. I know builders that will line bore caps even if they came with the engine cause they can get them closer to perfect.
