upgrade type 4 heads to 914 ??

after having a valve seat leave it's home for the second time, i'm wondering if changing to 914 heads will buy me anything in terms of reliability. vehicle '73 pop-top bus. bone stock. first set of heads (unknown rebuilder) lasted about 7500 miles of normal driving. ie; head temps ~250-300. second rebuild (rimco) lasted ~ 12K. no external oil cooler. will 914 heads bolt up & would i gain anything by doing so ? any other suggestions ? im all ears ! thanks in advance.
best
