Engine Overhaul

I'm just about to start overhauling my 2L Pinto for my Indy, and thought I would ask some advice about what I should be replacing in the engine, as well as what signs of wear to look out for. I'm not planning to spend too much rebuilding the engine, but I also don't want to have to take the engine back out again.

What is a reasonable amount of money to spend on a rebuild, bearing in mind I'm not looking to upgrade much. (P.S. the engine has done just over 100K)

TIA
