Can you afford ls6 heads? If so I would get a set of those. If not the you would have to steo up to 241 heads minimum because that will require a ls2 head gasket and the 853s take a special gasket that I don't think come in a 4.0 bore spacing or 4.060 in your case.

You will be fine running those heads for right now. The car will still run fine, it would just be down on power compared to other setups.
