[Shotimes] Bought a 1990 Black / Mocha with 62k miles

Glad to hear that you are mobile again. Not to rain on
your parade but you may want to rethink the copper
head gasket route. From what I understand, they need
to be retorqed fairly regularly. If this is true, they
don't sound like a very street-friendly material.
YMMV.

Were you able to locate the Fel Pro 3.2 HG's?
