I have a 95 GT with 110,000 miles on it. It still runs pretty good however the oil pressure always runs high and temperature gauge likes to move around a lot. Never over heating but definately running hot. Could I keep doing stuff to it as if it were a low miles engine with the bolt ons and head cam and intake package, etc. or does this pony need to be rebuilt. Are there little things I could do such as new radiator and something with the oil system that will take care of the minor problems,and then get started with the mods? Any help is appreciated. None of this will happen until May but I'm looking to plan out a huge project for next summer. Any advice or input is appreciated. If you have any questions I'd also be glad to answer them?

I'd do a compression and leakdown test if I were you. Check for blowing smoke (blue is worst) out the tailpipes.
gauges can be screwy.
