The best Edelbrock heads to buy are BBM or Survival.  :P

These are the Edelbrock heads that would work best with your combination:

I'm not sure if your headers will bolt right up and match up to the port, but you can slot the bolt holes to make them work if they aren't right.  You can run the same rockers.  Hard to say how much power you will pick up, but you will definitely see an increase.

Thanks for the reply Jay Brown i am ordering the 60065 heads today $1070 per head cdn plus tax gaskets and other things i need. i know arp bolts would be best but can i just use new stock replacement bolts? Lodrco said arp are expensive and this is already 1 months wages.

You can use stock replacement head bolts.
