I am putting '96 magnum heads on this old 318 so I wanted to be sure they were the right head bolts.

I believe the mags take a unique bolt (P4876759). I have a set for a Magnum swap also & I'm not sure if they are torque to yield or not. You have used ones that you were considering reusing? If not TTY then the thread gauge check sounds excellent & I'd just lightly wire brush em clean & good visual for nicks that would screw up your torque readings.
