Check the 99 board. They're having this same discussion. Parts for H engines, like harmonic balancers, are starting to disappear was well so you might as well keep the B engine. From what I understand, the only parts that are difficult to find for the B engine are the timing chain guides, and they're hatching a scheme to rebuild them over on the 99 board. Some of the pistons, the standard sized ones I think, are also getting difficult to find.
I think that the 8 valve engines are all smoother. Find a spare engine, buy a $100 engine stand, and rebuilt the engine. Then you'll have it on the shelf when yours dies.
