Honestly, pull the pan and see if it's clean. If it is, put it in the car and run it as is. Do not get caught up in buying mods for the engine before the car is done and running. I'll bet that engine is fine as is and will be a blast to drive. 119k on it is nothing if it was cared for even minimally. If your goal is more power than that engine offers, build another engine after the car is done and you're driving it. Then, swap engines. My .02. Congrats on the engine score.
