Unless you are going to something like aluminum heads you would be wasting money to get rid of the 7a heads you have now. Just take them and have them cleaned up and maybe new springs to go with your new cam.

From the link above:

...................Timing Chain and Gear Set, Heavy Duty, Double Roller, Iron/Steel Sprockets, Buick, V8, Set

Use the one in the second link instead.
