Default 455 Rocket heads

I just bought a 79 T/A. The previous owner had a merlin built 455 rocket, punched out to 468 put in the car. Its suppose to run 11's, but it still has the stock heads and intake(with a mighty demon carb). Do you guys know of anywhere I can get a set of heads? I know edelbrock makes heads for them, but I'm not a big fan of edelbrock. I had some trouble out of their performer carb on my 80 camaro.

Try Dick Miller racing or Mondello. They are big oldsmobile guys.

yeah yeah what the last guy said. Mondellos is who I would check out, they have awsome **** and have been oldsmobile exclusive for a long time. Lots of experience. Definitley upgrade the heads, olds heads are nortious for poor oiling over 4000 rpm.
