Default h/c swap on high mileage, worth it?

After having most bolt-ons installed on my 99 Z/28 M6, I'm left with wanting to do a h/c swap. The car has 160k on the odometer, but still runs really strong and burns no oil. Would it be worth it or wait till I can afford a build later down the road?

FWIW do a compression check, i see ur not burning any oil, just for a peace of mind, shouldnt cost much, if its low figure out why and go from there, if the rings are still tight, then go for it!
