Just seems like a good idea to have everything that was built previously without your direct knowledge gone through and double checked as the last thing you want to do is grenade your 302 relying on something that you're not 100% sure of. Just my personal opinion. In the long run, the money you save on trusting the old rebuild may be a waste if the engine wasn't built exactly correctly or if the time has created a weakness that was previously unknown, and you'll end up spending what you saved plus a good amount more on a complete new rebuild or new engine entirely.
