What we used to refer to as "Feulie Heads", betrayed by the double camel humps. Light weight blocks and heads are always cool. Go for it
Mark: I'd want to find out from Speedway who makes the PN you are interested in... and what kind of warranty against 'cracking' etc.. There are some makers of small block aluminum heads that do not enjoy a great reputation...

I haven't found the warranty clause. But, they're not the cheapest heads on that site and the priceless Edelbrocks are all sold out
Speedway machines the castings themselves I forgot to ask who cast them. I liked them over Trickflow because they are 64cc over 60 cc
Natural aluminum oxidizes, and isn't very pretty. Paint them with something (chevy orange, aluminum?, or Clear coat, OR any other color you want to display your engine)... with aluminum heads and intake, your engine is lighter by ~ 100 lbs or so. with those aluminum castings (cast like cast iron stock heads), painting them as you would cast iron heads disguises the fact they are aluminum. With aluminum heads, you can get by with a little higher compression and less tendency to knock with low octane fuel.
It all depends on what you want to do with your engine. Paint the block aluminum too, and tell everyone it's ALL ALuminium..
Check the exh port location so you don't get in trouble with header fitment.

Speedway also sells 2.5" Rams Horn exhaust manifolds that are seemingly cast from the originals... (seemingly identical except for the PN cast in)... about $100 per pair...
