If they are non castech heads just mill them to bump compression. Or find a set of 243/799 heads and slap them on there.

Stick to a 212/218 size camshaft if you want a nice daily driver with no need to add a stall converter.

If they were done right They should scream.

With ported heads you will probably want a little more cam in it to take advantage of the extra flow.
