Those are a great set of heads, you just need to make sure you pair them with a set of pistons (to keep your compression in check, around 9.5:1) so you can run 87 octane. Pair that with a large cam with an LSA of around 112-114 (a roller cam would be very nice if you stay with your TBI block)

If you don't need an EGR for smog, you can get a Weiand single plane manifold and not lose your low end, since your using TBI.

Those crane rollers are very nice but you'll be into them close to $600. You would be better off buying the summit rollers for around $200 Summit SUM-G6910B - Summit Aluminum Roller Rocker Arms - summitracing.com with not much loss in quality.

In my opinion, you would be much better off buying an engine that someone already built & needs the money. I paid $1500 for my stroker that I could not have built for less than $3500. Keep your eyes on craigslist and pirate, there are some great deals out there if you are patient.
