As long as you have the head and manifolds already removed and the cylinder
walls are in good shape, why not take advantage of the situation, pull the
engine and throw in some new bearings and rings?  If you don't require
extensive machining (oversizing, etc.), polish the crank, hone or the
deglaze the cylinders, replace that miserable rear seal, and voila, for a
small amount of cash your lower end is re-built along with your head.
