Thanks for your input, folks. Really appreciate it and so it seems that a good moly lube (probably ARP's) and some thread sealer along with torque spec's by ARP guidelines with the gaskets installed dry should get me where I need to be with the heads. Reckon it's about time to get to wrenchin' but getting wrapped around some pork chops is gonna come first! Will let you know later how things turn out! Chow time!
