Hopefully the head hasn't been milled or surfaced more than once or twice. Am assuming the valves have the same tight clearance on the 35 engines as the later engines. If so, and the history of the head is unknown, if you haven't already I think I would make sure the valves clear before investing a lot of time on the head. IIRC, it was last year someone found out the hard way that valve clearance can be a big issue when changing heads.
