After contacting a local machine shop, I decided to send the head out for leak-testing, cleaning, decking, and 3 angle valve job. The shop is familiar with this type of head/cam setup, and has agreed to do the tappets and assemble the whole top end for me. I also bought some Isky valve springs and a lightened flywheel from Vicks today. I will be able to take the whole head assembly and the springs, cam, and valve guides to the shop and not have to worry about getting it all back together.
That will just leave the whole fuel system to sort out... hoses, clamps, filters, pump, injectors perhaps. Anyone have experience with the new style injectors that Vick's offers? The old ones have probably seen better days and one of the spark plugs looked kinda white, indicating a possible lean condition on that cylinder.
