v

that is going in the wrong direction. The valves and ports are too small for the 327 to breathe properly. Those heads will work with a 283 or 265 though.

A stock set of Vortec heads is said to be worth 20 hp out of the box without other modifications to the engine.
Around here a brand new set from Gilbert Chevrolet http://gilbertautoparts.com/Cylinder_Heads/Vortec.cfm run about the same as buying a junk yard pair and having the valves done. They are about a two and a half hr drive from me though but any GM performance dealer shoud be able to get you a competative price. They do require a new intake that matches them as the older intakes won't bolt up.
