I just completed mine I had 250.00 in head work, milled the head down, new intake and exhaust valves, new springs and keepers, new valve seats installed on intakes, ( for unleaded fuel purposes) 45.00 in gaskets, 300.00 for the pistons liners and rings kit, and I already had the 300 head. I suppose you could pick up a 300 head for about 100.00. Tearing the engine that far apart and not replacing the liners is a mistake in my opinion, considering that they are probably egg shaped or out of round, and probably original. This type of condition also results in premature wear of your new pistons and rings. I would also replace the rod bearings, they run about 60.00.
grand total : Around 750.00.
I am sure that some one will correct me if I am wrong , but pulling your head and grinding bumps out of the casting will make no noticable difference and would be extremly time consuming for the results that you will get.

Good luck Jon Mirgon
