I think that decision lies within yourself and your budget. But if I had that many miles on an engine, and was thinking about heaving modding, I'd pull it and go for a 383 or bigger displacement.

believe it or not you can get a really nice forged short block for pretty cheap from some of our sponsors. you could do that. put the stock heads on it and spray it. then once you have the extra $ go for heads and better intake. keep an eye out in the for sale section I have found a number of deals, for great prices. but me if I had the time to let it sit for a while I would pull the motor and put a 408 in its place. I am kind of bias though

on all accounts. My motor has 122k miles and is still kicking ***, yours may last another 100k miles, or another 20k miles after you cam/head it. Forged 347's can be had for LESS than a set of heads and a cam, and heads/cam prices are going down. It's easy to build a 460rwhp 347 these days.
