Rebuild or Create Engine?

It really comes down to your skill level, and the condition of the engine you now have.
If your engine has good compression and not making noise I would say a valve job. You could do this yourself with rented tools(albeit machining the heads). At 150k that motors just broke in in my view. I had a '74 with 318k and didn't burn 1 drop of oil (Leaked about 1 qt a month--rear seal) and had no internal noises.
