I'm in the boat as you are. And I'm going to get another, rebuilt engine. Less stress.

Why would it matter how many miles are on it? Rebuild = zero miles when youre done, no matter how many it started with. You would have to replace everything youre supposed to regardless, and hachine everything back to spec. You cant "save" parts to be re-used, other than the main internal components (rods, pistons, crank, cams, valves, springs). Most everything else needs to be replaced.
