Default 99 5.3 head swap

So I have a 5.3l iron block stock bottom end with stock 862 heads
Small comp cam ls6 springs couple other things
In a 99 silverado
Future plans of goin turbo. So what kinda heads
Can I throw on this thing without having to make huge
Changes to the rest of the motor. Also a budget build.
Will a set of ls1 heads do the trick?
And yes I'll probably try to get ahold of a better cam for the set up

Thanks fellas

you can get a set of 243 heads or you can port the stock 862 heads, with a valve job.
keep in mind you will have to buy gaskets and head bolts also.
