Just build what ya got Mike, keep it and enjoy it. If done properly it should provide years of fun.
Rebuilding an engine, yourself with intentions of selling is about the worst financial decision one could make. To anyone else, it would just be another 50-year-old engine, that isn't worth any more than a bare block.

On that note, I have to ask this: With the costs of a complete overhaul, would you tend to build to the max. Bore because the cost difference between the next size Bore parts like Forged Pistons and rods is not that far from the cost of a max. Bore Piston and Rods?
I realize that going up in bore will cost more because of the additional costs of a Cam, lifters and Valve springs and possibly Aluminum Heads.
But this question addresses larger Bore without the extras, I just want the cubes now and later I could upgrade at will, over time?
