Default angle plug heads on a 82?

I bought a set of heads that have casting # 14011034 and they have been ported to 230cc. Would these work on a stock 82 crossfire with 44K miles?

Right now it's about as fast as your average riding lawn mower but is a really beautiful car to look at.

Are these heads no good for this engine? I bought a victor jr and holley 750 with the heads. Would this setup work on the stock crossfire block?

Oh, yea, they're way too big for that stock bottom end. A set of 170-180 cc would be a better match for your engine. 195's probably are be too big. Those 230's are more suited to a bigger cubic inch(stroker) small block, like a 400 and up that see high RPM's(like 7500), with a huge cam and a high compression ratio. Those heads are gonna lose a huge amount of torque bolted to a stock bottom end, and its gonna be a dog. Seriously, it'll run worse with those huge heads. The stock ones are probably only 160-165cc's.
