Not to sound like a smart a-- but when you say freshen up what exactly are you wanting to do? I've never heard of anyone changing out parts just to "freshen up" an engine unless they actually needed to be changed. If the fuel pump is still pumping and not leaking then why change it? If the water pump is still pumping and not leaking, why change it? Same goes for the internal parts. If you tear it down and check the wear and everything still falls within specs then why change parts that Detroit says are still fine? You can do a decent check of the injectors with a soft faced mallet. Fill it with fuel then the injector by the barrel and the upper casting, making sure not to get your fingers in front of the nozzel, and hit it with the mallet. You ca usually tell wether it's injecting a mist like it's supposed to or if it's spraying large drops. You could even take them in and have them professionally checked, if you don't want to check them this way, and if their good, use them... Like I said, not trying to be a smart a-- but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. As far as the parts you might need, bite the bullet and buy genuine Detroit parts. I tried aftermarket injectors, etc and at least half the times I did something like this, trying to save the customer money, it cost me when I wound up having to get new parts from Detroit to replace the ones that didn't come from them and started giving problems. Good luck.
