The early HiPo heads have very small combustion chambers and would probably not be the best choice for your application. You could sell them to someone who needs them for a restoration, and put the money towards a better set.
The C4AE-G head is the base 352/390 head. It is not cast for the 16 bolt pattern, so you could not use CJ manifolds on them. Yes, you can drop the CJ valves in them, do a little bowl work, and have a set of CJ equivalent flowing heads.
For the price, it is hard to go wrong with the Edelbrocks. I have seen them move a 390 Falcon into the low 12's with ease. By the time you put the machine work into converting a set of the C4AE heads, you are further ahead shelling out a few hundred more for the Edelbrocks. If every penny counts, then you can use the Iron heads, but you will not save much.
