Depends on what you can buy it for. I wouldn't pay over 1K, since I'd gut it like a fish and start over. If you're willing to run those cast pistons and slap a set of high compression heads, maybe 1500-2K if the carb, sheetmetal and accys are all there and desirable pieces.

I'd use a set of cheap forged rods and autotec pistons. Speedmaster or ported iron heads and a HFT and let it eat.
