depends what ur doin to it

obviously new stuff is better than old stuff

if ur doin h/c/i u will be replacing gaskets and such during the assembly

bottom end, timing chain, and stuff like that is usually ok for 300-400 hp... if u think the cars been beat or it has poor oil pressure a rebuild wouldnt be a bad idea

all depends if u got the money and time.

plan for the worste
