89 360 vs 71 360

I am about to pull the trigger on a donor truck with an 89 360. So it should have a hyd roller yes?

I have read several forums, some very recent, and still am unclear if the roller lifter motor is a better starting point than my already owned 71 360 block. The plan at this point is a solid roller 408.

Yes I understand they need to be fluxed and ultrasonic and pick the better core blah blah blah.

BUT I am asking from a price and performance stand point, is it better to start with a roller...
