Default Engine rebuild?

My 98 z28 has 135,000 miles should I try to do a complete rebuild? If so what exactly do I need?

i cant find the problem its giving me a code for my maf but the maf is good.
and its making a weird noise. i just dont want to put mods on the car and it break down.
i just want it to be a really fast daily driver that i can eventually turn into a weekend car.

If it's an LS1 powered car, it's 'really fast' already. What are you calling 'a weird noise'? MAFs don't make noise btw.

Do you have a sewing machine sound or a louder than normal ticking?

Easy to ask, impossible to accurately answer.
