FWIW I have a 3.2 Carrera with almost identical mileage (allegedly anyway) and decided to split the case. I am:
1) Replacing all the bearings (including the #8), even though they look good (with the exception of the intermediate shaft ones).
2) Had the connecting rods re-sized and re-bushed.
3) Upgraded the con-rod bolts to ARP (I understand that for SC's the stock bolts are fine, but they are bit of a weak link for the 3.2/3.3 motors).
4) Had the crank checked and magnafluxed and found that one throw had some the hardness come off and needed to be hard chromed and ground to standard size on that throw only.
So, even though the bottom end was in relatively good shape (and would have been OK for many more miles), there still turned out to be enough things to "fix"...
