Should I or Shouldn't I...pistons and cylinders?, Can of worms? Options

[computers4kids]

I pulled apart my spare 75 2ltr down to the block (didn't split the case) that I'm planning on putting in my 75 project car. I also pulled the heads. My intentions was just to clean it up, do a visual inspection on the heads and re-seal the motor. I was going to take the heads down to our local machine shop to have them cleaned and if necessary a valve job.

I'm looking for some advice on whether I should remove the pistons, have the cylinders honed and new rings installed? Is this worth doing on these type of motors...or do most just buy a cylinder and piston kit?

Looking at all the kits available make me wonder whether to go with the stock 94s or a big bore kit. I see Jake sells a stock Mahle kit for $284 and the big bore kits are between 3 and 4 hundred elsewhere. I have both stock injection and weber 40s...probably go with carbs. I don't want to split the case to replace the cam.

So what do you think? (you can tell from my questions, I'm not much of a mechanic...but I like doing things for myself)

I've also been evaluating P&C sets. I'm not sure the $289 "bus" ones Jake sells are for a real 914 case. I also thought about buing those, but I see through a little internet snooping that REAL Mahle 2.0 liter PC sets are $2000 and more (check Pelican) and /or are NLA. There are some other cheap sources for "Mahle" manufactured by AA prbucts. I decided to buy new KB pistons to go in my existing cylinders...but that is NEXT engine drop. This time I'm just pasting on rebuilt heads, then buttoning it back together in time for my DE on 19 April.
