Re-machined Block, Crank Shaft, Connecting Rods and Cylinder Heads"

I need to itemize further, or just pays my money and takes my chances

Oil pump reinforcement ring.
New lifters.
3 angle valve job
New valve seals.
(New valves, springs, keepers, guides, knurling?)
Hardened seats installed. (I have a 73 and a 74, so hardened seats are already in, I think. I will choose one engine to do, probably the 74 since it's out.)
K-Cam ('74) or D-Cam ('73)
crank/rod/piston balancing.

Anything else?

I think I'd be happy with original felt front and rear seals, unless someone says different definitely.

My next step is to pull the 74 head and pan off and peek the cylinders, gauge the journals, eyeball the valve seats, measure the lift, and decide if rings, bearings, cam, what all is necessary.
