Default 706 heads.....

im done building the motor for my S10 project but all this talk about cracked castech heads has me worried. the 5.3L came from an 05 (L59) avalanche. I threw in a comp 228r with PAC 1218s, new lifters, harned 7.4- .80wall pushrods ect. BUT my heads did'nt *knock on wood* have any cracks around the oil drainage holes ect, they were good basically. on craigslist today i happened to stumble upon some 799 heads brand spanking new. for $400. would it be worth while swapping these heads over with a nice simple port and polish job ? or just leave it be? and how much would they need to be milled to obtain my stock compression or more? about .30?
