Hi there, Use the cast iron ones. Check them with a straight edge and make sure they are flat. Use copper head gaskets and spray with copper cote on both sides of the gasket. You wont have any more trouble if you go that route. I have cast iron heads on my 34 sedan. They were new aftermarket made in 1946. Never a problem with them. You could paint them silver for that aluminium look. Second hand alloy heads a risky to use in my opinion. New alloy heads are available at some cost. Regards, Kevin.
