In your instance, considering the $ and work requirements, maybe the best
path is to leave the 180 heads on the engine, swap a 95 or 110 distributor,
run a pair of good carbs and be done with it.   If they don't like the
lower power, tell them about the 95 heads, which *will* make a difference
when swapped out over the 180 heads.     
That's what I did, just added carbs and Distributor and ran it for 4 years 
that way. Never had a problem and got up to 28 MPG running over to Bend Or. from 
Salem.  That's 150 miles ea. way and you climb over a 4000 ft pass on the 
way, got 26 going over and 28 coming home and cruised at 60.
 Oh don't for get to add a cross over pipe or it will run like S...t. I used 
a 3/8" gas line for mine.
