if its just the block olly, its very worth it!
U could get pipes for pennies, turbo is worth uprating if you are tuning anyway.
Im tempted to do this for my next project

Did you have to give everything back, or was it just a bottom end and head replacement?
Acid dipped?

You dip the car in a tank of mild acid which burns all the paint off along with all the underseal. It is a lot quicker than media blasting, though it's probably quite hard to find somone who can do a complete shell....

think it strips all the paint off. You will be able to deal with rust, etc, much easier then.
