No real problems at all. Annual ckup for spark plugs, transmission check, etc.; regular oil changes on time; had a little trouble with the blow motor - kept failing -but found out it wasn't really the blow motor part, but was most likely the control switch - checked all the wires and seems to be working fine now. I want to drive it about 2400 miles roundtrip, but am a little worried that I might be asking for trouble that I don't have now. What do you recommend I do to keep it roadworthy ?

Honestly, everything you did sounds good. Make sure the brakes are good, check all fluids, oil, air filter, driveline fluids and tires. Truthfully, one can never tell if something unexpected is going to happen. If it has been a good vehicle, you should be fine.
