They're great heads for a 351 and Edlebrock uses good hardware for their assembled sets. They use large valve springs so look closely to make sure they don't touch the rocker arms. You can do a little grinding/filing on the rockers though to gain some needed clearance and it shouldn't affect the integrity.

You're looking at a massive power upgrade if you're coming from stock heads but I don't know about getting them cheaper than an RHS.. depends upon your source I guess. Stay safe over there...
