Unless you know the history, almost anything could be hiding in there. How many 350 blocks will come back as 160HP stock based on numbers that after opening up are really 300+ HP 383s? And you can't really tell by the 'dress' as it will fit on blocks from 283 to 400.

Boat owners are just as likely to want a faster hole shot as a car owners want a quicker 0-60.

If one is reverse rotation, it might be worth saving just for that reason.
