Make sure you have the correct head gasket. My '50 C had 3 1/8" instead of the 3" pistons. Had trouble finding the correct gastket to match up with the water ports. Most of the 3 1/8" head gaskets assume you have a water pump so the water port holes are smaller. Ended up drilling them out to get better cooling flow. I used a high temp silicon and put a light coat on both sides of the gasket. If you check the archives others spray on a couple of coats of sealer. Be sure to start your torque sequence from the center and work out. I started torquing at 40 ft-lbs and worked my way up to 80 ft-lbs going in 10 lb increments. After you have run it for a while you will want to remove the valve cover and rocker arms and re-torque the head. This means resetting the valves. No big deal. The manifold is torqued to 20 flt-lbs. Valves are set to 0.014"
