Not sure why you would want to do that but.. 3 head bolts are slightly different location. the center most upper and the 2 dowel locating bolts

so either re drill the heads or have the block holes filled and redrilled

Whats your budget like? I mean if you are pulling heads off, get them ported. I went from the stock exh valve size (if i remember correctly 1.72) to 1.88. kept the stock intake size 2.19. I would go turbo before wasting all that money on a s/c

Pics of my ported stock heads
