Mainly keeping it stock. Except for catback exhaust and chrome pony wheels.Are you keeping this stock? Or modding it?

I may eventually. Really the only problem I seen was a bad water pump (which looks original) and radiator cap.I would do a leak down test on every cylinder and takes notes on leakage for each cylinder. A leak down test will nearly always tell you if you have a problem with a cylinder (blown head gasket, damaged/bent valves, dropped valve seat, piston/ring damage, cracked block). I prefer a leak down test over compression testing, IMO it is a more reliable way to test a cylinder's ability to hold cylinder pressure.
Way back when, I worked for Teague Custom Marine, a top name in the performance marine industry. One of my responsibilities was to test/inspect damaged engines before tearing them down. I was instructed to leak down every engine before I started to tear it down for repair.
Otherwise I don't suspect any problems as of now. I may need to use some penetrating oil on the plugs. They might be original. I may do the test when replacing spark plugs.
