Re: 400 sbc heads and steamholes? add them or?

hmmm....

Here is the backstory:
I have a chance to pick up a very inexpensive 400 sbc complete short block assembly.
One of the reasons its cheap is that it has no heads.

Now, in my part storage I have a set of really good 1.94 heads complete with all valves/springs/etc ready to go....nothing fancy or high compression....but in near new condition, gathering dust.
I paid $50 for these through a very lucky deal....and given the low investment in them I was wondering if they might be a good risk and candidate for the 400 that needs heads.

Regardless....I don't want to ruin them necessarily....if I don't have too....so first, I am gathering information on this 'drilled steamhole' addition angle.

Again, just thinking on this....the risks, the rewards....etc.
All in all a low budget, fun side project opportunity maybe?

All good
