Yes it does have a close deck block, shame the rest of the engine isnt as good 
Best thing to look for is a detailed service history, no service history, no buy, its quite simple, start there, see whats been replaced, see what needs replacing, being tidy on the outside doesnt mean its a good car
If your uprating, dont go too mad, to start with its an old car (15 years old), you also need to run the car on a minimum of super unleaded as thats what they are mapped for, your options from there start to cost you money
First thing I would do is speak with your insurance co, see how much mods will cost you, then get the brakes sorted, early cars have crap brakes, then maybe some handling mods, power is no good if you cannot stop or go round corners.
