You should have no problem selling or trading one of the 359 heads should you so desire.
I would love to see pictures of the 359 factory heads.
I looked for the Edmunds Head a long time... like nearly 30 years after I was asked, while selling parts at a Florida Club Event, if I had one or knew where one was from Tom Mix... At the time he was looking for a setup for his Darin.

I've always been a OEM guy but I'm ready to give it a go.

Just in passing due to the mention, I understood that Tim Mix was the previous owner of my former 1964 Imperial Crown Limousine by Ghia but never confirmed.

Just search CA auto swop meets and U'l get many listings.
I'm on the "bad" coast so don't follow, per se, but have knowledge over the years. Hemmings and other pubs for leads, but not like it was, page shrinkage galore. There's a rod section in Hemmings.
Duly noted, "waiting 30 years" for one, makes them nearly unobtainium. But they come up, need to cast a wide net. Now I wish I would've bid... Even if you find, owner may not want to part with. Seems like stuff I save no one wants or prospective buyers are cheapo.
Another thought: The Frod V8 flatties have more HR following/numbers, so some of those guys may have leads for straighties. P world/survival is comparatively small. There's commercial flattie rebuilders, hot rodders, etc.

Congratulations! A pic, or two, of the completed engine, especially the head, would be great.
