Ok. I got hold of an N1 (24u) block that has been bored out to 86.5mm.

I want to see what parts I can use off my stock engine internals. I know about the oil pump and steel exhaust impeller. I just want a stock N1 build. Not high horsepower. Just a reliable stock engine. 

What can I put in and what should I not put in and get new?

Measure the crank. if you have a stock engine and the new block has been bored you will need new pistons. You say now that you are not after big power but if you change your mind later you don't want to be pulling the engine out again so get better rod bolts and balance the whole assembly. You'll want a new oil pump water pump and cambelt tensioner and now is a good time to do the harmonic balancer.

There lot's of guys running stock rods with upgraded arp bolts but like Bob said definitely replace the oil pump. To be honest though, why go through the hassle and paying the machining to have a stock internal engine again and only to be slightly more reliable then stock? If your only after stock power then certainly a just a unopened well maintained rb26 will do you fine.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
