That's what I would do but I've heard so few bottom end problems I would not mess with it. Swap your freshened up heads and water coolant pipe and put that in.

Part out the old block and heads from new engine to recoup some money

Thanks guys!

After my current experience, I'm leery of Used engine and engine running good and cracked cylinder.

But Sounds like a plan!!

These engines are not known for lower end failures.
