Get a set of GT-40 heads and port them on the exhaust side.

You should have less than 500 in them total.

World Castings iron heads are hard to beat.

Best heads for the dollar IMO are the Edelbrock Vic. Jr.'s. Same price as the Performers (~$1000) and they'll take you easily into the 8's in the 1/4. They don't have the smog provisions but you can work around that if your willing. Definitely too much head for a stock block unless your willing to spin it to 7k or more

but if your planning on building a screamer (high rev 302 or 306, 331 or 347, or even going to a 351) they're the only head you'll need from the 11's to the 8's. Just my .02

If your gonna stay mostly stock, just about any aftermarket head, Edelbrock, TFS, AFR, FRPP etc. is going to do good things for you. I just prefer the aluminum over the iron heads.

What's your goal for the car? That should be the first question asked before recommending anything. I'm assuming its strictly a budget build? If so, I'd get a used intake and spend the extra money on the heads and cam. But, let us know what you want out of it first.
