Getting a complete "Core" from an older car is genererally less expensive and is a good idea unless you ultimately plan on replacing heads, rods, manifold etc. It allows you to see how it all "Fits" together. One negative however is that you rarely know what the existing bore size is unless it is already disassembled.
About all that would be left in a complete state would a "run of the mill" 390 in a pickup or early 60's car.
