Before you get too carried away, check out the heads. If I remember from a previous thread, the last owner was pretty good about maintenance so make sure that a small thing is not causing you big grief.

I had low compression numbers too. 60 and 80 in two different cylinders. Turned out to be ad exhaust valves which I would say is your case if you had header leaks. There was nothing wrong with my bottom end, short block and piston rings were perfect!
Just get the heads re-done. No since in tearing down a good running short block. Most black motors are good for 800 or more hrs with regular oil changes.
