Why skimp on the rest of the job? A set of bearings , rings, new oil pump and gaskets are cheap and relatively easy to do.

Agreed , it was more a personal friend I spoke with trying to lead me to just bolting it on to the existing motor cuz it’d be quicker .
You’re right , no reason to skimp , I’m just gonna take the extra time and do all those things you mentioned and the other items I can freshen up .
