50-state heads for mild street motor

I need some heads for my engine, it's a stock roller LO5. I want to buy something new, off the shelf. I've already been screwed once buying used heads, don't want to mess around with machine work and refurb and all that anymore. I'm HOPING somebody can point me in the direction of a decent set of cast iron, aftermarket heads that will flow decent enough for a mild Crane street grind in the 6 - 700 dollar range.

Vortecs and Aluminum Corvette L98 are NOT options so let's not go there.

I've searched and I don't think what I seek exists. In that case, what can you tell me about THESE heads:

Will that chamber size work with my LO5 pistons? It's smaller than the 193 heads chamber I'm pretty sure, how can I know for sure if it's compatible and what grade gasoline it will run on?

Sorry, I could post every head out there on here, I guess I don't really know what I want or need.

Emissions-legal, you say? Got another alternative for you. Our old buddy Vic Edelbrock's got you covered:

Edlebrock makes a quality product. And it's made right here in the USA. Summit carries them, as well as many other places.
