    Both of those heads have 76cc chambers [read big] I would look for something with a 64cc chamber to bring your compression up. a set of 3927186 has the 64cc chamber and the bolt holes in the ends to mount your acc. I recently bought 3 pairs for $80 at a swap meet so they are out there. 64cc should bump compression aprox 1.25-1.50 points. good luck hunting!

    I used early open chambered 4 bbl 305 heads. I ported them slightly and had 1.94 intake valves put in them. I've got flat topped pistons, and a comp 268 high energy cam in it, with a tweeked Canadian 2bbl intake and a 500 cfm Holley. The thing is VERY peppy in my old truck. In your case you can either use what you have and have them milled or look for something else.
