Hey Stuart
First thing I would do is check to make sure nothing is warped with a straight edge.
If that checks out put a new head gasket in and away you go.
If the head is warped get it sufaced.
If the block is warped you will have have to strip it so they can re-surface it.
As for seals and gaskets since you got the motor out and it has sat since the mid 90's I would replace them all. Nothing would suck more than to get it installed and find a balance shaft retainer O- Ring leaking Or the rear main (that would really suck)
