-It will work and run but don't expect huge hp gains

you'll have ~8:1 compression. It will work, but as stated above, don't expect too much.

you will need new pistons to see a good gain.

If you buy a head gasket kit from a company like reinz they come with all 12 valve seals, HG, intake, exhaust etc etc.
