I just saw the S&S 100 inch top end and might go with that or just bore mine to 97" I kind of like the idea of the thicker S$S jugs though
I will be doing head work for sure with automatic compression releases for started kindness.

You don`t need a puller unless you are removing the inner primary bearing from the mainshaft...

Replace the big oil seal, and the spacer and quad seal.

You might also consider replacing the main drive gear/mainshaft seal...

I think J&P Cycle sells the race puller. You will need the extremely deep socket for the pulley nut as well. Mostly to torque the nut back on to the right torque spec.

If you ever considered replacing the inner primary with a chrome one, now is the time to do it.
