If you are planning a rebuild with a roller cam, you should get a roller cam motor. If you buy a rebuildable 87-up you will get seasoned roller block. If it only need a hone, they you have the forged pistons for the reliefs.
If you do some porting on the E7 heads, cam, and carb with good exhaust, you should be able to do 250 RWHP pretty reliably.
