I have a set of stock 289 on my car now. The hipo's are going to need to be worked and pretty much the hole 9yards. what is a good way to set these heads up.

sell them to a restorer "k" code heads are the same ports as stock heads they just have screw in studs. {they suck} look for gt-40 heads or go for after market heads. if you want more than 220-240 rear wheel h.p.

my heads look at sig

They will put you at 260 rwhp with the right combo of parts.

By them selves they are worth 40 hp.

Only valuable for restorations IMO. HIPO 60's heads are LOPO by todays standards. The money spent to make them marginally worthwhile would be better spent on a set of decent late model heads.

Make sure they're geniune Hi-po heads before forking over the cash.Otherwise, you'd be getting a $30 set of heads for $100. Look for the screw in studs AND cast-in valve spring pockets. ONLY the Hi-po heads had the pockets.

I have set that I just have. I was thinking performance but once I started building my 347 I quickly realized I would be wasting money getting them to work like my trickflows..

Save your money for aluminum heads if you can afford them.

351W heads or GT 40 heads would be good if you are on a budget.
