243s would be a good upgrade...specially for $150
spend $50 at a machine shop and have them milled for more compression. might look into a basic valve job too.
you could see some nice gains for cheap

this is the post from the guy is their anything i should look for i be going to be looking at the heads on weds
These heads came off a motor with less than 5000 miles on it. Heads are bare. Set up for 2.00/1.55 valves. 65 cc chambers (according to the internet, I haven't measured). D-shaped exhaust ports. Supposed to be identical to the 243 casting LS6 heads

Make it easy on yourself and do it all the same time. Figure out what cam set-up your going with and find some heads or have your heads set-up to work well with the cam. Dont forget to drop some new lifters in when you pull the heads- cheap insurance!

you should be picking the heads that fit your budget(best you can afford) and having a cam ground to match the heads, not the other way around. the 799's with some nice valves, a GOOD vj, and some minor bowl work will be a nice budget head
