1. On-center is the relation of the rod position in the cylinder. Production motors are off-center. There are significant improvements on the On-center blocks over early Off-center stage II's.

2. Yes, 3.5 is better. Neccesary, depends on your goals.

3. Timing chain. This will cost you a lot more $$ if your old chain breaks. While you're at it do the valve springs. Watch your installed pressure. I heard some LT-1 springs were pretty stiff.
