If I can also suggest:

New head bolts (as in ARP) are good insurance. I've gotten burned everytime I tried to re-use the stock bolts - they stretch and then the head gaskets wouldn't hold.

Engine assembly grease on the ends of the pushrods and valve tips is good protection for initial start-up.

If you want to go the extra step, chase the threads in the block with a tap before you set the new heads in place.

It's kinda coincidental that I'm putting on a set of Edelbrocks this weekend.
