My old college truck, now "Farm Truck" is a 1979 Chevrolet C20 Bonanza, 350 cid 4bbl. It has 150,000 miles and bout 30 years of grinding around at 3000+ RPM (4.10 ratio, no OD). I KNOW the heads are shot.
I called a machine shop to quote a head job and they told me to save my money and drive it until it quits or starts knocking.

That was 7 years ago and I am still driving it on the factory engine, never even has had a timing chain change (can probably touch the chain together between gears).
Good luck on your bottom end rebuild! Gotta do it now...
