The cheapest way to get heads I have found less somebody giving you a set is Pull A Part. As said finding a set of D3 heads but the heads you really want (factory cast) are C8, C9 or D0. I picked up a pair of C9's out of Pull A Part for $34 each. Depending on what you want to do they will serve you just fine. There are proven builds for 650hp+ with the cast heads. If you want good info on building the beast here are a couple links to check out.
