You will need a intake though really to maximize your potential.
No, the 185's will not just bolt right up. First off, the 2.02" intake valves in conjunction with the inline valve design means that nothing more than a stock cam will run without notching the pistons. The 165's would be what you're after. Secondly, the 185's are tapped for 1/2" head bolts, so you'd have to get bushings in order to "bolt" them down to a 302 block (7/16" head bolt threads).
The TFS heads and intakes are matched to each other out of the box, and will work well. The Street intake usually sells for ~$400 and the Track Heat for ~$450.
I would recommend either TFS TW heads or AFR 165's, with a Street intake (or something similar operating range from someone else). Pair that with a decent mild blower cam and you're gonna make a lot of horsepower, and the torque will be there as well.
