Tearing apart hemi 5.7, machine work worth it?

Looks like just another screwed up and abused motor by some previous hack who couldn't be bothered to check the oil now and then.

I have a similar motor where the all the signs looked good but the internals were a total mess.
I had to find another crank, camshaft, bearings for it, besides some other little trinkets.

If I hadn't already sunk money in a Borgeson steeringbox and Megasquirt-system for the engine I could/would've probably stopped right there.

On other hand, what also kept me going a bit was the 200hp power-upgrade of 345hp compared to the bone stock 140hp? 318 in my Dart.
