Bah.
Have a shop resurface the heads and do a valve job and install new valves and guides.
Take the block .010" over on the block (or more if necessary).
Get em to clean the block and install new cam bearings and inspect the crank journals for wear. Grind if necessary.
Replace the pistons, rings, and bearings.
Make sure ya put in a new oil pump, the new plastic thing that drives the oil pump, and a new timing chain set.

That's only an afternoon and a 12 pack. Half the cost of a long block.
