SBC, 32 valve, hemi heads are around $6000-$8000 for a pair.

Re: 350 small block hemi stroker?
If its a 350, its not a stroker - and 16v Hemi heads for a SBC don't exist as far as I know, and the 32v Hemi heads are astronomically expensive; they probably cost twice what you paid for the car itself, if not more.
Hemi chambers are good, but they are not necessarily the best design anymore. Even the new Chrysler Hemis (5.7 and 6.1) are not true Hemis, as the chamber is not a true Hemi design (its sort of a figure 8 shape actually). The problem with Hemi-style chambers is that they require HUGE domed pistons to bring up the compression ratio into the right range, and Hemis like a LOT of compression to make power - like 11:1 or higher. Those would be very expensive pistons for a SBC, since they would have to be custom made.
If you want something that makes alot of power, and something unusual/uncommon/exotic that still works, look at a set of 18* or 15* SBC heads. I believe Brodix makes a number or variations of each, though none are very street friendly. I wouldn't recommend straying far from just OEM style parts (aftermarket, but stuff that still works the same way as OEM stuff), as it sounds by your question that you may be new to to all of this.

Of course you also need a new intake and headers to fit the SB2.2 heads. The port/valve arrangement is different.

Re: 350 small block hemi stroker?
I think you have to also have a sbc 2 block to use the 2 heads b/c there is a extra head bolt around each cylender... I thing it would be awsome to see a set of the 4 valve heads ran.. They say 100hp over any after market 2 Valve heads....
