is it worth it?

i have a 402 in my truck.. rebuilt probably 5-7 years ago.. it runs fine now.. but i have had to replace gaskets here and there.. so my question is.. would it be worth it if i pulled it. check the cylinder wear if its still good and pistons are still good give them a good parts wash bath. install bearings and new cam and lifters and gaskets and everything? my idea.. im sure its got carbon build up and get one of the summits rebuild kits for like 400 bucks and hopefully give it a few miles per gallon this way? or shall i just leave it and wait til a major problem occurs.. take about half tank to drive 60 miles
