Something about rebuilding an engine with used parts seems a bit counter productive.

There is a book about doing that with small block chevy engines. If I can find it I fill send you the title.

He describes rebuilding small blocks just as you describe. He makes a pretty good case and describes what he looks for and what he tosses out. Now there are piles of small block parts out there to go through, unlike our V6. I would rather have all new stuff too, but I don't think anyone is going to repop any of it. All the parts numbers of parts that were being made a few years ago have just evaporated.
