Is this worth it? 1974 440

I am working on a similar build. The block is stronger in general. The 452 heads are fine. The engine will work fine JUST AS IT IS, although the power won't rip your head off your neck. If you start with it, then plan your buildup for a future date, you could put it in right away. The Schumacher mounts will work great. The oil pan will need to be changed. You are not wasting your time.
