Default 119,000 Head and Cam build

Hey guys I was thinking about doing a H.C build on my 01 camaro ss. The only problem is the mileage, Is it even worth doing a swap with these miles.
I have $3000 to spend for now, what do you think my best bet would be?

Definitely do it. I would change out the lifters and oil pump for sure though
