Tip #1 Upgrade it to a 390. All you need is the crank and rods from a 390. You can even use the 360 pistons. Powerwise... Night & Day !!

The CJ heads will fit and bolt on but have larger valves and you might need to notch the bores on the block on the exhaust side. Not a big deal and easy to do. Valve spacing itself is the same as other STD FE heads.
