I do think "plan B" is wise though. When a motor grenades it stresses, wears, and deforms in unexpected ways and shiny bits get into everything, everywhere. A sound used motor with clean oil is not a 100% sure thing but probably a lot more certain than one that has been a metallic sausage grinder. I went through this in an earlier life with both a 350 Chevy and Ford 351 motors.
Best wishes for 2015 my friend!

Thanks and yes, my thinking is that it was time to start over with an engine with only street use and no previous metal processing! I am hoping that this engine will last as long as my previous stock engine.
