I have a rebuilt built 1953 mercury V-8. Would these heads be better than the 65cc chamber i'm new to flatheads I'm sure someone there has more space and I do .

I have a 1953 F100 with the 239 flathead, bored .030 over, but otherwise stock. It is driven, and will eventually have a tri-power intake manifold. Are these heads the best fit for reliability and a modest increase in performance? No other engine mods except the intake and carbs are planned, and the transmission is the stock three speed.
