G'day mate,
I'm from Aus as well.Have a 327 hp 289 in my 66 coupe and it has Dart Junior heads.They are getting on a bit now and are only cast iron but the engine goes very well.I believe the GT40 heads are good also.I guess you should do some comparisons with runner,valve sizes and flow rates.Also consider what size cam you intend on running and at what rev range it will work at.The heads should obviously suit.
Cheers Ron
