Engine trade opinion please

Do you think it's possible to trade 2 decent condition, normal high mileage EJ22t closed deck blocks for a decent condition EJ257/EJ255 shortblock? Already with forged pistons would be a bonus, but not required.
I'll eventually ask on Nasticock, but I'll have to sort through all the BS answers first. We get much fewer BS posts here.
I've got 5 (3 shelf, 2 in car) EJ22Ts and really don't need them all. For my deisred power level (300 wheel) I figure a EJ257 block and EJ20G heads/intake should do very nicely. I've got everything for a EJ22T stroker but a crank ($300) and machine work, but I think a EJ257 is more prudent.
