Opinions wanted on r53 spare motor build

Hello all,
02 MCS R53 last year had to replace a cracked head found one at local wrecking yard he ended up giving me the whole long block for the same price $400 cash. I’ve planned on rebuilding this bottom and as my car has 160k and been burning and leaking 1qt every 400 miles recently purchased a set of 77mm wiseco pistons, Newman performance camshaft, super charger bearing and seal kit, king crank and rod bearings. The block is in good shape the crank and rods are nice, anything I’m missing and or need to look or focus on besides just cleaning it up flushing all the journals and galleys? All ready have bolt ons 15% supercharger pulley, 2% crank damper, lightened stage 2 clutch kit. Is it worth going with the jcw injectors? Etc? Thanks in advance for your feedback and opinions
