110k is alot of miles IMO. You should begin by doing a compression and leakdown test on the engine. This will yield a reasonable measure of how "strong" the engine is and whether or not boosting it should even be considered.

that is a great place to start.
then read.
read some more.
understand the "fuel controllers" (that will make or break the engine)

I'd always suggest at least a head gasket and some ARP Headstuds on the single cams...
Checking the health of the motor before turboing is always a good idea too
