Default Head work

I am a converted Chevy guy and last month I bought a stock 1998 GT. My mods so far are listed below. Somebody just gave me a set of PI heads and cams from a 2001 GT, but the heads need work. Bent/broken valves, ect. Where do I go from here? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks

Are you asking where you should have the head work done or just where you mod path should go?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Looking for where I should go for head work, and what should I have done to the heads? My knowledge in this area is very limited.

Send them off to Fox Fake, Modular Head Shop, or Total Engine Airflow for a port job and have them do a valve job and get new valves and springs installed with some nice cams.

Yeup, and to save you some hastle, Modular Head Shop has a service for you that if you buy cams, you send them in to their shop, they check the cams themselves and find out how off they are, then they degree them to within +/- .5 degrees so it saves you time and install money as the service is a set price. Theres more about it on MHS's website.
