If you were to swap out the stock heads on a higher mileage (126,000) engine with say some Edelbrock Performers RPM's or World Products of the same size are then any potentials dangers that I would have to worry about that I wouldn't have to worry about if the bottom end has been freshened. Main concern is blowing the motor.
Would you do it or have the bottom end freshened up then do it.

Do a leak-down test. Or have one done. If you have more then 10% leak, it'd be wise to freshen up the bottom half. If it's under 10%, everything should be cool. No need to replace something that isn't broke!
