Are you looking for a major upgrade or just a little more umph? Any of the major aluminum heads are a good upgrade and potentially overkill on a mild engine. Option 2 is find yourself a set of redone 69/70 351W heads. I went aluminum on a not so mild 302 in my 66 coupe and Windsor heads on the 302 in my 65 Falcon. I'm happy with both upgrades.

I did the Eldelbrock package with heads, cam, manifold, carb, w. pump, f.pump, and an MSD.
Been very happy with this setup.
