but the thing is you have no idea of what sort of life the other engine had, as with yours, you already know how it drives, what probs exist if any.

i'd just boost it as is, plenty of parts to make a good setup within your budget. also if your worried about the condition of your engine make sure its tuned rich to be on the safe side of things. the only gearbox upgrades i'd think about is a good clutch kit and maybe reco the gearbox if its playing up atm like syncros etc.otherwise stock settings is fine.

when you talk to your mech, ask them to put together a kit that they would be suitable, then brake it down into parts and decide if thats the parts "you" really need or can i go for a alternative cheaper/branded/new/used/bigger/smaller etc

i went through exactly the same process.. asking heaps and researching on what other ppl have done.
