I had a '65 Lemans w. 326 2bbl and single exhaust as a kid. A dual exhaust was a big upgrade in performance. I then added a 4 bbl intake and Carter AFB which also made it even better with no other changes. I was amazed at the transformation which included basic, quality tune up parts. It was a 3 spd w. Hurst linkage and would chirp the tires in 2nd and 3rd with ease. If you're up to a cam swap, a Summit 2801 kit with lifters and springs and a new timing set will give a nice performance return on investment. The 670 heads aren't needed for what is just a nice torquey cruiser. The rear gears would be a better investment than the heads if you had to make a choice.

I already have the rear end as well as the 4BBL setup and the 670 heads. So.....

Go for it. The potential for detonation will be reduced if you step up to an 067, 068 or Summit 2801 cam.
