V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 816677, member: 56140"] For the average mileage engine, that is usually all it takes. My brother had something done to his 351. The gropped a pice of scotch brite into the engine. It got sucked up into the oil pump. He lost all oil pressure. He pulled the engine, tore the block apart, and cleaned it. New bearing rings and rings. Reused the pistons, cam, and crank. New oil pump. Heads were fine. New timing chain. Sold the truck to someone he knows of. That quick build is running 100,000 miles on it and running strong. There is nothng wrong with running the old pistons, cam, and heads if they are in good working order. Tom [/QUOTE]
