do i need to rebuild

hey guys as some of you may know already i plan on getting new heads, cam, intake, carb, etc. for my motor and i was just wondering if you think i should maybe rebuild it while im their (dont really want to bother with it unless i have to) . The motor looks good to me, and it didnt burn much oil when it was running. well actually i dont know if it was burning any because it had a small oil leak. the cylinder walls look pretty good, can still see the honing cross patterns (if that matters) no gouges that i can see. so what else do i need to look for to see if i need a rebuild or maybe possibly even getting a blueprint shortblock. also how much can a 350 be bored, its already bored .030 over.
