Default AH SHOOT cracked heads

Hey everyone,heres my story so far...I just bought a 97 1500 with a seized 360 in it,the guy had gotten another 360 rebuilt well not fully i had to put the heads etc. on the new block,so the heads were still on the seized motor the guy said he thought they were fine,so i took em to the machine shop to get cleaned up new guides springs and resurfacing,but first he checked for cracks.....and they are both cracked.SHOOT! So what i was wondering is what are the best heads to use now? i heard the stock 360 ones are bad for cracking so i dont really wanna get anymore of those.

Thanks,
Matt.

eddelbrock makes the best heads imo about the same price as RT production heads.

get the Heavy duty heads... about $400 bux less than the r/t's and work just as good. Hughes engines has info on them.
