Not likely, the parts will go up for sale. The block could be used if it is sleeved or honed, probably a good candidate for someone that is going boost.

I bought a used f20c block and had it freshened up with all new bearings, rings, and seals. I was skeptical about the old oil pump so I went with a new ap2 oil pump. We took the opportunity to upgrade the head with ap2 retainers and had the valves cleaned up with new valve seals. It should prove to be a good long term motor hopefully.

With the parts you mentioned replaced it will be as good as new
So don't forget to use crappy dino for at least 5k miles to get everything seated and broken-in properly.
IOW: the break-in procedure.

But...

Your old motor (and the oil you were using - just to throw that out there) wasn't bad or short term, UNTIL it, the engine, suffered from oil starvation.
If you take your as good as new motor through the same, using no matter what oil, the same will happen, again and again.

With a filter this big it will flow a lot of oil before it goes into by-pass.

Where do you get these baldwin filters at? I wonder if WIX has a bigger one we could run??
