Depending on what your ultimate goals for the car are, you may consider:

Instead of skimming the head, have it milled to increase compression.

Install larger valves (for example the valves on the L head)

Polish and reshape the combustion chamber.

Install the double valve spring setup if yours is single.

Some people suggest putting in hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel.  I have
never found this to be necessary.
