two different heads??

I found out the other day that I have two different types of heads on my 400. One is an 882 and the other is a 993. Will this hurt the engine at all? I know they are both low-performance heads, but I don't have the money to replace them right now. I just want to know if they will last me until next summer when I can buy a set of Vortec's. If this will be bad for the engine, I reckon I could go without a few other mods in order to get a set of heads that will work.

Thanks,
Adam

882's and 993's are very simular. Shouldn't create any problems you should have to loose sleep about.

You'll like the vortecs on your 400. That 'ill wake it up..
