Default New heads

I recently gotta hold of a set of heads for FREE. (3911032 1.72/1.5 69cc)
I currently have a set of smoggers on my car now.(333882) Are these new heads worth keeping and what kind of machine work could i have done to them to pep it up? They would be going on a 350 block(3970014). :smash:

Man those are 307/327 heads with small valves, you don't want to use them even if they are free. It would cost you more to open them up than a good set of used camel hump heads.

The intake port size is really small. Probably match up well with a two-barrel carb. Have you ever driven a two-barrel SBC? No fun at all.
