I had just about the same thing happen to me.  My push rod was just 
bent, not broken.  The heads needed a servicing, which would have cost 
about as much as new heads, so I bought a set of World S/R heads which 
were only a bit more than freshening up my old heads.  They should be a 
bit better for performance as well.  If your engine is built up more, 
there are other heads that might be a better choice.  We left the cam 
and lifters as they were in good shape still.
