I decided to keep it, at least at for the moment. Just been daily driving the thing and it's been doing pretty darn good.
Since deciding to keep it I've been slowly trying to gather parts as I find good deals on them.
Picked up most of the parts needed for the 6 bolt swap. 1g water pipe, 1g lower radiator hose, 1g thermostate housing, timing cover, clean oil pan, ofh, cas with pig tail to make my own cas harness, fidanza flywheel, and just bought eagle rods. Still need to order up the timing components and water pump, bearings, gaskets, pistons and should have everything for the short block. Then decide what to do with the head. Thing just seems to want to eat all my money, wish I could've just found another munch stage 1 motor again.
Lately it isn't a priority as it drives fine for a daily and and I got a new toy
