302 heads

it has an edelbrock performer intake and an edelbrock 4bbl, it has duals on it no headers, my original plan was to put headers on it and stick an ex268 cam in it for the summer and then do an engine overhaul or replacement next winter and since it wouldn't get a bunch of miles on it I coud just reuse the cam on the fresh build. (ive spent this winter working on the interior). when I posted a thread inquiring opinions on that cam it opened up this whole thing on the compression and cylinder head issues so I was gonna try to find me a set of heads and go from there. it does run ok at this point, no noises (a little smoke on start up) but doesn't seem to be using any oil. ive been told so many things and I know everyone means well and has their own opinions but now im not sure what to do I may just put headers on it and ride it this summer and collect parts throughout the summer as I get the money, while doing more research. I like the 318 but everyone keeps saying 360.
