If the heads are new on the bad cylinder motor, just take the $75 motor down, clean it up and put the good heads on it.

My sentiments exactly.  You'll only be out the cost of a few gaskets, and end up a very decent motor.

Sould have said "sediments" ;D

I'm also doing a similar thing with my engine donar truck.  Bought a running 350 from a '72 for $200 and just replaced the basic stuff like oil pump/pickup, timing chain and cam/lifters.  Found some carbon/sludge inside motor as well (but not as much as I found inside the 400  :o) and just cleaned it up best as possible.  Not uncommon really
