Good heads that won't break the bank.

If you're going to swap heads, do that cam as well. You're most of the way there, and heads and cam need to work together. That said, you get a set of heads that need work....add valvetrain to support the cam, it all adds up. There's never just replacing one thing and being done, you tend to get nickled and dimed along the way.
Come up with a realistic goal and a realistic budget and go from there. But just spending money on parts and throwing them at a car piecemeal ends up costing you a lot more in the long run than just eating a larger up front cost to get everything working together correctly the first time.
Dart also makes iron heads for SBF still(last I checked anyway). Modest heads, modest cam, some decent valvetrain stuff and you can get a solid performing reliable vehicle for not a lot of money.
But just fyi, trying to save $500 now may cost you $1,000+ later.
If you're just looking for cheap power when you want it, buy a 50-75 shot nitrous kit.
