I don't mind at all having it rebuilt. Ive already got the carb, generator and a few other specific carrier parts that I would take off of this engine.

I suggest you stick with what you have and rebuild it..At least you have a good block and a new set of over sized piston and rings will give you that little extra..make sure you have the heads boiled and cleaned out well in the water passages..
At least you know the block is good..
and every thing will fit back in..
