65 Barracuda 318 Rebuild, Cam, timing, lifters maybe a kit?

pretty decent cheap heads that will give you a compression boost
A boost over the 1968up open chamber smoggers(2843675s), but not over his current 273(2465315s) heads, nor over the 67 heads (2658920s).
It's just not that big a deal to mod an aluminum intake to work with those older bolt angles. I think there is even a how-to thread here on FABO.
