What should I do about my '72 350 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I spoke to a shop about reviving my '72 350. They said they would do a remanufactured longblock job for $850. Below is what that entails:

Bore and hone the cylinders
Grind & polish the crankshaft
High-performance 3 angle valve job
Resurface heads

New parts:
Rod, main, cam bearing
Camshaft
Front & rear main seal
Oil pump & lifters
Timing component set
Freeze plugs
Valve seals
Complete gasket set

I wanted to get some input from you guys/gals; do you think this is worth it? What have been your experiences with doing a rebuild on an old block? Thanks. Here is a picture of what the engine looks like right now.
