Chance to pick up a 225 slant locally...questions

I don't want to spend too much more than 2k.
I was thinking of going .060 over and doing exactly what you did except I shouldn't need the hardened seats. I want to get the max cubic inches. I'll have a spare block just in case, plus I'm getting old and I don't need to worry too far into the future. The guy was going to pull the head but hasn't got back to me. I may just go buy it and take the hundred buck risk.
