a rebulid is not necessary to stop the leak, just replace the valve cover gasket(s)

I rebuilt my V6 at about the same mileage mainly because I was adding a perf. cam and intake,using only a rering kit,but your wear may be more than mine requiring over bore and pistons. It may be more convenant to buy a low mileage 2.8 or for a perf. upgrade a 3.4,that way you could keep your car on the road right up to the engine swap.
