Engine Rebuild Question

I am Rebuilding A 1980 3.0 CIS engine and wanting to use your "Waynes Top Engine Picks" 3.0 SC High performance, waynes recommendations are as follows

Case: 3.0 SC
Crank: 70.4mm
Pistons: JE 95mm
Cylinders: Nikasil 3.0
CAM: S
Fuel: Carburators
Heads: 3.0L 36mm ports
SSI Exhaust
3.0 DISP
CP: 10:1


The Question are as follows, in the Heads column you list the Ports being 36mm, is that for the intake, exhaust or both. I can get a 78/79 set of heads with 39/35, or currently have the restrictive 34/35 ports from a 1980. What were the sizes that you recommend. If I am sending the heads to the machine shop anyway might as well get it done the best way possible. Also if following the rebuild recommendations, what HP should I be expecting.

Thank you for your time
