Could do a compression and leak down check which would let U know where the engine health is, but I think it in serious need of a rebuild/replacement.

Question... it seems like this engine is pretty high strung to get the power he enjoys. Would he be better off with a more mild set up and 177 huffer on top?

He'd be better off swapping to a mild 454/502.

needs some time and education first, he said he was not used to bigger power, start small and work your way up..
