That's gonna be hard to determine what cam you can use without knowing what has been done to your heads. You could throw a good size cam at it and your heads be milled down by the previous guy and boom you have Piston to Valve clearence issues.

+1 MS3

But still, it's tough to say whats right and whats not for heads we know nothing about. Not to mention if you put a really small cam in, then put heads in later you might wish you had gone bigger...

No one said you have to take the heads off to change the springs!
