Default sbc head advice

I need some advice. I have a 67' 350/295 hp casting #3892657 from a Camaro. It is .010" over with flat top pistons w/4 valve reliefs cut. Cam is a Comp #2016111
adv. dur. 268 268
lift .454 .454
My question is what heads should I use to obtain 325-350 hp with good low end to mid range power.. Only be used for short local cruises. It's for my 57' vette I'm in the process of building now. I plan to run a 2 x 4 carb set-up (just like the look) and a Muncie 4sp. with present 4.10 gears (to be changed later to 3.50 -3.70 range) and no headers. I have the rebuilt double hump heads from this motor #3890462. 1.94/1.50 valves & 64cc chambers. Can I run these heads or opt for some aluminum heads with either 64cc or 72cc? Also what cc runners, 180cc or less? Don't want to invest the money in the present heads to take them to 2.02s. Any suggestions would be appreciated....
