Hey Austin..
since you're havin' it rebuilt, go all out man! Get some MP valve
springs, put a cam in that MoFo (2030 Crane is a good blower grind) port
them heads, bore it .030 over, put a double roller timing chain on it,
and whatever else you find interesting =)
as for the 518, look up Level 10. They make (pricey) stuff to really
build up a 518, also check out TCI, and talk to Marty at KRC
performance... he knows everything =)
