Installing New Cam

Im Installing A Cam In My 350 1980 Chevy Smallblock I Was Thinking Of Installing A Racing Cam With An Extra Lift, My Question Is In Order To Do This Do I Need To Replace The Heads In Order For The Valves To Be Adjusted Correctly Or Can I Use The Old Heads And Just Adjust The Rockers I Have An Edelbrock Engine Performer Intake.
