They were good heads in their time but their time has long past. They don't flow better than the current era of heads. Guys restoring an old engine and need a set of 441 castings for authentic reasons are willing to pay good money. I see no reason to put them on a C4.
They are cast iron. If you are planning to change heads, switch to aluminum heads.
Here is a good head flow comparison chart. http://www.malcams.com/legacy/misc/headflow.htm

The 441 heads are older (early 70's), large chamber (76cc), heavy casting heads. We use them on our Sportsman race car. Basically a stock, low compression head. They do flow resonably well and were a good head for their time. I would guess and say they're not as good as the heads on your '85.
