First, have it checked by a pro to make sure it can be rebuilt. If it's already been bored +0.030 and you have a seized piston, the cylinder walls may be too thin to handle another boring out.
Edit: Have heads and block magnafluxed to check for cracks.
Have the block cleaned then send to machine shop to have cylinders and journals checked/bored.
Port and polish the heads then send to shop for new valves, guides, and seats.
Send crank to be balanced, ground (if needed) and polished. Have the oil holes chamfered while your at it.
Port and polish intake and exhaust manifolds.
That ought to get you started.

There are dozens (if not hundreds) of books/manuals/web pages on how to rebuild a SBC (Small Block Chevy) engine.
