RWD 3.4, out of car, should I replace the LIM?

[427v8]

It's a '95 iron head out of a Firebird, 130,000 miles. Ran good in the car it was pulled from, I saw it.
I'm putting it in a '29 dodge 4 door.

So while I'm cleaning it up, should I just go ahead and replace the LIM?

Is there anyway to tell if the gasket has been replaced already?

What I know is;

*Some one was in the engine, 3 exhaust manifold bolts were broken off ( amazingly no exhaust leaks )

* water jacket looks clean, as viewed through the thermostat hole

* I can see a metal gasket sticking out from between the intake and the heads in the corner.

*The front and rear of the intake is sealed with a bead of black RTV

* the UIM gasket was hard and brittle.

*The valve cover gaskets are cork and black RTV


Thanks!
Keith

Well if your using the engine as a donor it never hurts to freshen it up. The iron head gaskets are not leak prone like the Gen III engines.
