Engine advice

Currently I have a 355 in the car with crappy 191 heads and a comp cam, I have to get the specs but it's like 212/214. It is machined for roller components but they aren't on it. I am wondering if this setup will run well with my stealthram or if I should get the roller stuff, different heads and different cam for it. I just want to be able to drive it, doesn't need to be fast as I just went stage 3 on my S4 so that's fast enough. I have just been contemplating using this motor or buying a used L98. I don't want to put a lot of money in it now as it'll get an LSX swap down the road.
