I would investigate and correct the reason for the burned valves.
That often indicates running a lean condition for long periods going from memory. I'll probably be corrected rightly or wrongly by the others but I'm used to it. The L8 literature showed, I think two different materials for the inlet and exhaust valves. But that was also for leaded gas in the day to "lube" the valves. (I'm not a believer in that) You may want to upgrade all fuel system parts for today's crazy and future fuels.
We tend to assume everything was untouched/original after that long but that's rarely the case.
