I planned on just pulling it and replacing the gaskets on valve cover, oil pan, timing cover, etc.

I wouldn't think that 124k is a lot for a 350. Unless it came from a 1 ton that was constantly pulling a heavy trailer, I wouldn't worry about it.

Most late model V8's in small trucks are all getting over 200k, easy.
