    SO those are the only modifications? The reason I 
    ask is because the thing needs a valve job (im    
    pretty sure) and I need to purchase a gasket set. 
    WHich do I purchase the one the belongs to the
head     or the one that belongs to the block?

    ANY OTHER CONSIDERATIONS I NEED TO KEEP IN MIND   
 WHEN REMOVING/REPLACING THE HEAD/VALVES/SPRINGS??
