How about an injector swap, or possibly cleaning them? You could get o-rings and some cleaner cheap enough and it couldnt hurt!

Don't forgetting to change the oil. I would throw a timing chain in for good measure. And if you really want you could do the pan gasket and the rear main seal. Myself I would pull the intake and exhaust manifolds and the head, do a mild port and polish and take it to get a 3 angle valve job and have it milled. Also gasket match the intake. All that and you would have close to 15 hours.

Oil change, seafoam, "upgrade" your injectors, valve gasket painting, replace all your hoses, tune up, exhaust, replace brake pads/drums, electric fan conversion.
