Take the Y heads to the machine shop for valve job, bowl cleanup, spring seat pressure.
I had a set of them new, ford wasn't known for a good valve job back then.

May cost you $200 for the work, but it's worth every penny, makes for a better running and more powerful car. Especially if you are looking for a 12.50 car.
