UPDATE
I got everything all cleaned up and was able to source a pair of clean and reconditioned cylinder heads. Got them installed along with all new gaskets, bolts, and a fuel filter and she fired right up.
This was my first head gasket job. I just took parts off and off and off till I got to the head. The only pain was getting the valley gasket holes to line up on the block. I simply stayed with in until it was done. Fired it up when all complete and it sounded much better. Had a small amount a smoke coming from the manifold, not sure if it was from oil or a possible leak farther down.
In the end I have to once again thank this site for all the helpful threads on this matter.
Thanks!
