455 with smog heads changing to edelbrock

Hi Everybody,
My 455 is in the shop. The Guy who has done allot of work for the dealership that I am associated with origanaly sugested that we just rebuild the J heads and upgrade the intake to an edelbrock preformer with the aproprate edelbrock carb. Fortunatly he hadden't gone far before I stopped him and asked him to quote on the matching edelbrock heads. I know that addition to the rebuild is going to be expensive and I am going to hear it from my wife.
For the life of me and I am looking for some back up here. Is it not a complete waste of money to rebuild the J heads? I was really looking to the guys in the engine shop for the correct advice. I had asked the question about the J heads more than a couple of times. Please list your reasons as to why or why not I am correct in my thoughts. So I can back it up at the shop and with my wife.

Have a great day

Lloyd
