Engine looks rebuilt or, at least, highly gussied up. Painted body color, AN style hose fittings, etc. Only a mechanic could tell in person. Guessing on the internet is only guessing.
See Ten makes a point, why rebuild and not add hardened valves?
Any receipts, paperwork on the rebuild? Any witnesses? Anybody know the machine shop that did the work?
As for AvGas, looks like it's over $8 bucks a gallon!
