Your oil pressure is great. Swapping motors now will be too great a risk. You don't know what you're getting. Even rebuilt.

I am down for keeping engine in car, better for me. I understand the valve seals. while doing this are there anything else one should want to do, Pushrods, I know the make no rockers for mine. So what else would a guy do while opening her up....
