Engine 360 Pistons and Rods

Hello Guys,
I am looking to swap in a 360 on my 304 74 - CJ5. Mostly because I was able to purchase a profesionally machined block for cheap on a 360 and my 304 is about shot. The block was machined .030" over, deck was machined .012" but the crank journals were within spec so the line bore was left untouched. So I am not sure 100% sure on the combination of pistons and rods that would work. I understand that I would need new pistons since the bore is .30 over. The heads have not been reworked yet and I am going to assume for the moment they will not require resurfacing. I was able to find the specs on the heads from the casting number. I am OK with a bit higher compression if reasonable. I would plan on running rec (92/93) fuel since it will be mostly a trail rig. I currently have headers on the 304 that I would reuse and would plan on an Edelborck intake. Thanks and any help would be appreciated.
