Or ya, you could do a whole rebuild. How many miles are on the motor? How did it run? Knock, smoke, etc. I've taken a junk yard 302 that I heard run, cleaned it up, replaced the timing chain, oil pump, and gaskets, and ran it hard for quite some time with no problems. I guess it depends on if your going to keep it, or sell it. And if you keep it, how often and hard are you going to drive it? You already have alot in it you need to get out of it if you sell. If you're going to replace the cam, you might as well send it out to get cleaned, inspected, honed, and new cam bearings put in.
