At 301thou K, I'd be rebuilding firstly. While you're rebuilding, install a Cam and port the head (smoothing out all the casting marks etc will have a considerable gain) extractors and 2.5inch Exhaust, intake, and a J3... You should see considerable gain from those mods mate

50,000km old engine in that case, it will be fine, 301,000km on the clock and more than likely the rest of the drivetrain.

if you're on a budget get an intake and some extractors/exhaust. and throw some 3.9 diff gears in.
