I just got me a set of used 416 heads off ebay. i am for sure going to put new springs, and seal in them and of course have them cleaned up and re surfaced, is there anything else i should do to them?

I have a set of 416's that F-bird did.... All ported out. These things scream.... had them shaved right down to the spark plug boss... and used a steel shim gasket......

Think they flow about 243 intake and around 180 exhaust with the 1.94/1.50 valves.
