With the stated milage of 155K on the engine, it is going to need a lot..............

Yes. My thought was not that it would be a good idea to do it with her high mileage engine.
Rather than doing a complete rebuild on something like that for a "zero-miles engine", what do you think about buying a +/- 50,000 mile engine for a few thousand dollars and doing maintenance on it short of splitting the case?
