    And with the idea that I would upgrade my stock 289 around these heads. Kinda thinking it might require changing my stock pistons and that might shelve this idea.

    According to'what-you-wanna-do-with-the-car!'   Hi-po semi street racer...then go with the 351($750.00max)

                                                                                 Bump up the performance a little on the 289 then I like the heads because.......
                                                                                  your heads now are prolly 58cc chambers so these heads will still work with
                                                                                   your stock pistons.  Forget the high lift rockers. ($500.00 is a great price if
                                                                                   the heads haven't been abused/cracked.

    The heads would work fairly well on a 289 with the right cam, headers, exhaust, intake, and carb.  $500 is a decent price, but you'll spend a couple hundred getting the bent valve fixed and having them freshened.  I would never install them without having them freshened/checked by a machine shop.  You never know how they were used and people tell all kinds of lies to sell stuff. 

    The 351 is also a good choice, depending on how much you pay for it.  Again, I assume going in that it needs to be fully machined, new pistons, etc.  So I'm with 6sally6 that I wouldn't spend more than $750 for it.
