    Stay with the cast iron heads--they have larger intake ports and flow better. You have to use the cast iron intake with them though--the Aluminum '64 intake won't fit due to the big difference in intake port size.
    The block and all the bottom end is the same between '64 and '65--just have different heads/intake.
