95 ls motor, its got like 150,xxx.
i got ls rods and some ctr pistons.
What would i need to do to the bottom end to make it fresh and clean? Bore? Hone? And how much would all this cost roughly?

I would repalce the main oil seal, oil pan gasket, oil pick up gasket, plastigauge the bearings. get new rings if you don't already have them, hone the cylinders, have the deck checked for flatness, if it's off have them shave .010"
don't get the crank polished unless it has scoring (you'll need new bearings)
if you do, make sure to tell the rep at the dealership how much they took of when selecting new bearings.
good luck on your rebuild

You can replace the rings and hone the cylinders yourself with a hone made for a hand drill / drill press. Other than that you could have a shop turn the crank for you if you plan on replacing the bearings. Around here I got quoted at $90 one time for a 4 cyl. crank. Not much money at all if you take care of what labor you can. Again good luck.
We do this type of block reconditioning all the time. Check out our engine page on our website for a price comparison on how much a shop should charge you.
YOu will see the stage 2 build up includes the OEM pistons with the other necessary parts to rebuild the block properly.
