Okay newbie has read 100 threads, and every time there are so many options that my head spins. I want to buy a "bolt-on" head and cam combo that will last me until I either build or replace this engine. Here is what I have:
stock 318, '69
edel 1406 carb (600cfm)
edel 2176 intake (performer)
340 ex manifolds
dual exhaust
904 trans
2:76:1
Everything else bone stock
Daily driver
Objective: drive it, have fun, go fast on occasion. Lots of freeway time (75%). I don't care how the idle sounds as long as it isn't a dog off the line even with the tall gears.
From another thread, these heads look like a decent deal:

But I can be talked into anything. I really don't know and I can't figure it out from reading these threads. I just want to take it apart, install the parts, and drive. No bottom end work this round.
So- heads and cam? Off the shelf, not scavenged and rebuilt. I work like 70 hours a week so I need simplicity. Thanks...
