Well if you bought JUST the engine and are planning on putting into another car. While you have it out, I'd change the head gasket, timing belt, tensioner, and water pump. Plus any other cheap fix that is easier to do when the motor is out of the car.
It's all stuff I'd do anyway. Cause if you have no records, you don't know how old anything is.
One thing I check and replace when I build a motor is the damned coolent hoses on the back of the head. I had two blow on the same car. Cheap fix and sucks when they blow doing 70 down the road.
