don't those heads have really small chambers ?

the "DOOE" head is the best stock head you can go with... '69/'70 351 head, or '93 gt40's from a cobra "f3zz"

go to the junk yard and find you a wrecked v8 explorer and buy the heads and intake off of it, and you will have a decent upgrade then throw a b303 cam in it even with the stock valve train it will be fine if its nice and tight, run a 10/40 weight oil
