I don't think so. MM was in business a long time and built thousands of engines. Many of those engines were good engines. You don't hear about those engines. I would estimate that more than half their engines were decent engines. I would take my chances with a running driving engine built by MM in a car than one sitting on a pallet rebuilt by an owner as a one time job they did because they decided they wanted to restore a car.
Maybe you get lucky and put it in and it's fine. Are you willing to chance that on a numbers matching case? What if it throws a rod through the side on start up or 100 mi into break in? If it were me, I would rebuild that engine again, even if it didn't require a single part to be replaced. Peace of mind. And I would drop my bid $10k to accomodate for it.
