If that is all that is wrong, rebuilding may be more expensive than what is needed. Replacing plenum gasket, water pump, cat, and timing set should do it, unless there are other issues in the lower end as well.

Rebuilding engines in the 70's was not that expensive....but something drastic has happened between then and now!
