My opinion. Especially if you have the opportunity and ability to do much of the work.
You get a nice, tight new oil pump. You can get better pistons and far better rings for less blow by and less sludge problems. Past neglect isn't a possibility.
Or sell the carcass, as Justin suggested. Your biggest problem with a major repair on an older car is if someone runs over your car. It gets totalled for a fraction of the repair cost and you have a fight on your hands.
