I would replace the head gasket, valve seals, valve cover gasket, distributor gasket and some hoses and be done with it. Unless you have driven it on the milk shake in the oil pan, it is probably 'just fine'. Any short block work now is overkill IMO. If you heard piston slap or bearing knock, overhaul it, otherwise leave it alone and you will be happier. These engines can go double what you have with no issues what so ever. Just keep oil changes and good filters on it and keep driving it.
