Ed,

I assume since you mention the edelbrock heads, money isnt the real issue. That being said heres what I think and why.

I would not even think about using anything but an aluminum head. Why? The aluminum Head has a more modern design, Better shaped combustion chamber, better runner design, better cooling effect of the aluminum, less detonation better complete fuel burn. The cost is about 2 times the cost of rebuilding the iron heads but the benifit is 4 times better. Also later when you decide you would like more power, you can send the heads out for a port job and get quite a bit more outta your engine.

I hope I have been clear....It doesnt matter which heads you go with, you have to think what are your future goals?

I would look an Eddy or indy SR head. Is it worth it to you to invest $ in the old iron head?

Yes, the first set is the worst, needing new valves, seats, guides and springs. The set with the bridged rockets just needs a valve job on it.

I'm building a mild 401 street engine for my Gremlin, and I two heads to choose from. the first set is casting number 3216090 - from a 360/401 with 58cc chamber & stud rockets. The second is casting number 3231475 - from a 360/401 with 58cc chamber & bridged rockets. Which would be the better set of heads? I do plan on running a set of Roller Rocker Arms. Or should I just buy a set of Edelbrock Aluminum Heads.
