Got the block, cam, heads, etc... All I need are rings (stock GMPP pistons standard size), Main bearings (standard), Rod bearings (standard), and overhaul gasket kit. I usually buy my stuff from Summit, any suggestions on a quality manufacture or even the summit part numbers?

They are not torque to yield, As per GM Service Information for techs "Remove and Discard Cylinder Head Bolts" this would be for the Gen V and Gen VI engine and if I remember correctly the L31 R engine also
You are going to want to use a teflon thread sealant on the threads also as the threads go into the coolant passage
There are few informative book's available for the Gen V & VI B.B. Chevy, the one I have is out of print so the price is out of control, here is a good one for under $20

This is the book I have ,Even though I have a subscription to SI2000 this book was a good suppliment for my build up ,but as I said the price is out of control
