Any reason for keeping the original heads? I am new to this, but I thought they are generally considered crap compared to modern replacements.
Congrats on the car!

The old 289 was on it's last leg. You keep the origanl heads and put them on the new motor because they are interchangable and you don't have to fork out more money on heads.
My motor guy is porting and polishing the old heads and changing them into roller rocker heads, so they will be a lot better than they were.
