The "car" is actually a woodie wagon my Dad and I put together in 2004. I drove it all over the place, Pennsylvania, Maine, putting close to 3000 miles on it. Then the original head developed a crack. Every engine I've bought to replace it has a cracked head. The engine in currently has a slight crack between 5 and 6. And a mean grumbling from the min bearings. I reshimmed the connecting rods as they were very loose. Then got discouraged. Life brought me in different directions, but now with the corona virus, old projects are back on the table. My thinking is that with the better running engine, I'd have an easier time running around. If it's going to be too much, I may just decide to sell and move on.
