You don't mention it needing anything or any noises. Based on that, I'll say "ain't broke or leaking, don't fix it". These engines are often good up into the 300K mile range with an intake gasket and valve cover gasket swap.

Swap to the aluminum pan if you can. Then you don't have leaks or issues.

rtv the block and the pan, then set the gasket in place and then the pan. put thread sealant on the pan bolts, the ones along the side go through the block and the threads are showing inside, oil seeps down the threads makes that nice dot of oil on the bolt heads.
thats how i did my pan when i did a full re gasket of my whole engine. bone dry since day one over 2 years ago now.

Change the oil in the supercharger and put a new coupler in it!
