Update:
Picked up some new shocks, valve cover gaskets and an engine dress up kit. Unfortunately, the breather cover won't work with the donor bolts (too short) the chrome valve covers worked out good.Then put new shocks on the rear. After all that I took it out for a test drive, man it sure rides a lot better! Here are some pics of the engine before and after, (sorry pics aren't the best).
