if the motor is tight and original, I wouldn't bother with the J heads. I'd just keep what's on it, on it.
if you do pull the heads, I'd look for some of the (sounds like now discontinued) .028" thick Mr. gasket head gaskets...last I saw, amazon.com still had some.
I'd probably just keep the stock intake on it, it's a pretty decent piece, unless you plan on using a square bore carb...
for a cam, how big is the whiplash? I would keep intake duration 218 or lower. I used a comp XE262 in a stock pistoned 360, with cheapie hedman headers, an RPM air gap, and eddie 600...it ran real strong.

I would pull the heads anyway, even if just to scrape the carbon off the tops of the pistons. At that point there's no reason not to swap on your J heads, but it's up to you.

well with that in mind(not use them later) then pull them and run 2.02 with the whiplash and clean it up some with fresh gaskets ect.. I am just on the 0$ budget and need the daily driver to run by monday but if time & budget allows and your not ever goning to use them later get all you can get out of the best pieces I think the whiplash is gonaa work good with either valve size runwhatyabrug

For those of you that have used or are using the Whiplash cam, are you running it with the stock factory vlave springs or something else? Thanks

The cam kit comes with the recommended springs.

If your springs have the rotators on the exhaust valves - get rid of them and use standard retainers.

I'd use hughes #1110 springs with standard retainers (dump the rotator ones if you have them)
