Why would you do heads though and retain the factory cam?

^^^What he said....I would probably have a machine shop clean them, check'em out and perhaps take a few thousandths off, but should be fine....

I would consider doing a cam, since you going through the trouble of installing heads, but it should work just fine.

IMO if you have a budget for a cam I would just wait out the Couple months and do everything once. But since you have the time Go for it and just save up for another set of gaskets ,bolts, lifters, pushrods etc etc.

You could change the springs now, it is much easier with heads off.
