Default After Market vs original parts

Looking for advice and experience-


I'm going to rebuild a '36LB engine and am looking for peoples experience and thoughts about using new aftermarket components vs original. Considerations include locating parts, quality of 80 yr old parts vs new parts, cost, and time spent in the machine shop refurbing old parts etc.


Parts include: Crankshaft, Cam, Connecting rods, bearings, etc. The valve train would be new either way.


Feel free to mention specific brands and your experiences / thoughts. PM me if you would be more comfortable sharing your thoughts privately.
