You will be well served finding out exactly where you are and what you have before making any big decisions. Some (most?) cams are marked on the nose which can help identify them. Pull the front cover and see what you can see. It would also be informative to determine if it has an aluminum or fiber timing gear.
As far as I know these heads haven’t been ran from looking at them, EAB-A stamped on the end of the cam so I’m guessing it’s a stock cam?
Also, are the old valves ok to use? How long to the old ones typically last?
