Block work - stage 3

[dr_jekyll]

Many of you will know the stage 3 red shed

Basically im looking at rebuilding a power plant for it. The cars still on her original block at 250k, multiple oil leaks, breathes heavy, blows water etc..
Think its about yime i looked at building her an engine up but literally have no idea how far to go with it all.

My first thoughts are with the following:
- base engine 100k or younger
- full seals
- headgasket
- cambelt
- aux setup
- low mileage injectors
- low mileage r70
- new clutch
- refurbed gt2052s
- lashings of paint

ive read other places of people running 16v rods for added strentgh, stiffer valve springs and arp's. Is this actually needed? Apart from having a tired engine block, ive never had major issues with my block.

Is there more or less work people would advise??
