428 CJ engine project

I'm in the process of building a 428CJ motor. I'd like to get some opinions from all you gear heads out there with more experience then I have - this is my first.

I have an excellent set of original CJ heads (bare) and I'm trying to decide whether to build and use these or go with Edelbrocks aluminum heads. For those of you out there whose running these Eldelbrock heads - how do you like them? Headers or cast iron manifolds? I know headers provide more HP but I have them on a 428PI (which I'm running now) and I have a leak which is driving me crazy - I don't want to deal with this...

This is my gut plan - run the Eldelbrock aluminum heads, aluminum intake, and aluminum water pump with the cast iron exhaust manifolds. The weight savings should make up the minimal HP lose with the manifolds. Please give me your opinions and comments. By the way, this motor will be going into a 68 Mustang. Thanks!!
