I need a new engine. I found a rebuilt longblock on CL for 1500. It has stock heads with tfs springs and b cam. I didnt think there was any advantage to running a cam on stock heads. Worth it throw a set of 1.7 rrs that I have on them?

I know people are probably laughing and rolling their eyes, but it is a serious question. Am I better off throwning the stock cam from my current motor back in with the 1.7s? I need to get the engine in asap before my wife makes me sell the car. I eventually want to throw TFS 170s on it but that isnt in the budget right now.

It's fine with the tiny profile of a B cam.
