Mine, too. 350 TPIs used to be "8".

You cna use the '416 heads, but it's strange that you can't find any '081 or '187 heads. Using 350 heads can create other problems than too large a chamber volume. The valve spacing can create interference with the deck on a smaller 305 bore, and even if the valves clear, shrouding can be an issue. Beyond that, the head gaskets will have to be 350 sized, and add even more free volume in the chamber, as well as potentially creating pockets for carbon accumulation.
