Make no mistake, the thing will run with those heads on it, but for a few bucks...say maybe $400 or so, you could be in much better shape with a different set of heads.

Your engine would have been very very very very lazy with that 292 cam in an 8:1 307.
Sounds like it will run god with some nitrous to bring up that compression when I need to pass a truck! haha
I just wanted to refresh what I had. And fuel economy is a consideration, since this will be a daily driver. My cam choice is mostly for some lumpy sound.
Still think that link to the Summit cam is the way to go?
