Grab em if they're a good deal, they go for around $1250 new. You'll need to definatly check your piston to valve clearance though. Those heads use the bigger valve and I know that they're interfere with the stock piston cuts but I don't know about what kind of pistons you're using.
I've seen carbed cars with those heads go 11.80s on motor with a stock shortblock, they're bad heads.
