306 build

Ok so ive been all over trying do decide what i wanna do and i finally settled on a 306. My uncle bought a 54 ford coupe that had been floating around between his friends and its got a nice 306 in it. He wants to do a 4.6 or a big block so he gave me the 306 lol. I wanna freshen it up . Its carb'd now but i want fuel injection. I was looking at procomp aluminum heads on ebay. Are they any good? Any better than the gt-40? And im probably gonna run a comp cams cam. Any advise? Are there any good head gaskets or just go fel-pro? How about intakes? I know its alot of questions but im still figuring this whole ford thing out lol. I want to drive the car every day and have it reliable.. I want to be quick but not hve to fix it every weekend lol. All help would be great

Just buy a set of trickflows they're cheap and source a used intake ... Edelbrock ,cobra , systemax or whatever .... Custom cams are always better but for a off the shelf came the trickflow stage 1 and 2 make some good numbers ...

Awesome thanks. Ill have to look around. The only ford ive messed with was my buddys dads with afr heads. Alittle out of my range lol

absolutely DO NOT buy cheap heads. you will regret it in the end.

Look in the classified section over on Corral.net for some used heads. I personally unloaded a set of NIB AFR185cc heads for $1300. Even let my canfield heads go for $400!
