If you do get into the heads, you should replace the valve seats,,,,,

Well, I have decided to restore my car to it's original condition.
Except for the brakes.....I still say 50 year old brake tech sucks! Well
it sucks for a daily driver. That aside, I'm pulling the motor and
tranny this week, my cars got 81k documented orig miles, and never been
touched. So, I'm going to clean up the motor, replace the freeze plugs,
all seals, water pump, rebuild the carb, I've already gotten a new flex plate
for it.
I was going to have the heads redone but I'm not 100% sure this is
required. Maybe just a good cleaning and check for damage is all that's
needed. If I have to replace any of the valves I will replace them all,
but with what? What's the best valve for a stock motor. Should I
change out the cam for a little bit more performance? Or change it
to get better MPG? I will drive the car a few times a week, so it won't
just sit in a garage collecting dust. I was also wondering
what other things I should do the the motor, things to improve it's
performance or MPG. The last '62 Newport I had got 25mpg on
the freeway. They only have a 2bbl carb. I'm just not sure
what I should do to the motor other than replacing seals and pumps so insure
it don't break down. At any rate I will have the whole motor cleaned
inside and out, repainted and sealed...
I know I will get many opinions on what to do with it, I will then be
better informed and can pick and choose what to do with it.
Thanks
