How about 180k maintainance suggestions shortblock rebuilt 30k ago. Almost all the accesories are original except plug wires,hoses and filters of course. Doing a head swap and might as well do some preventative maintainance. Would anyone go ahead and change coils, alternator, ps pump. etc? I don't have a lot of time to be going back in and fixing later (you can tell this is my daily driver). Injectors?

I have over 160K and have replaced alternator, power steering pump, AC compressor, radiator, belt idler bearings, and motor mounts. I have thought about putting on a new starter but I haven't yet. There really is no crystal ball but you want to think about what happens when it fails. Probably the worst thing to lose is the oil pump. Much of the other stuff you won't have any catostrophic damage and many times can limp home. You never know how long you are going to keep a car, my last Camaro I always said I was going to drive it until I wrecked it, then my wife wrecked it.

Yeah, I've never had a ps pump or alternator last 180k till now, so i thought i might go ahead. But I really don't know if the coils or injectors should be replaced.
