Well I got the second exhaust manifold back on today. I tapped the holes, scraped the old gasket off, applied some anti seize and torqued the bolts.

Thank you all for following this long post and providing me your feedback, others will benefit from it, I know I did.

As always here's some pictures of the progress, and you can see more on my web page here:

Looking good and you're doing it the right way. Taking you're time...

On a side note: When you get to the intake manifold, DO NOT over-torque the bolts. Over-torquing of the intake manifold bolts to the cylinder heads on 302 and 351W engines can cause head gasket sealing problems.
