If you have your window sticker or build sheet it most likely came from the factory with the steel wheels and a previous owner added the aluminum wheels.
Blocks are known to "settle". If you're going to spent the money on a "seasoned" block, why not clean up the bores 10 over. What is unknown.... were they cleaned up or done 30 over because it was worn out?
I painted mine 24 years ago using two hand brushed coats of Rustoleum gloss mixed with flat...no satin yet back then. I removed the hoses, arms etc and cleaned it up. The paint self leveled and still looks OEM.
I purchased an aftermarket, bolt-on "cat" a number of years ago. It gives a little more sound and that's all I was looking for. I also have the original mufflers in place.
