Are you sure of these heads? Are you sure they have accesory holes? If they dont, they are of no use at all to you.

#1 what about power steering
#2 Are you sure this bracket will work in a thirdgen engine compartment?
#3 is it really worth all of that to run heads that are 36 years old?

I would rather look for other heads, there are much better heads to be had.

So you found a way around the bolt holes. That still doesn't excuse the old port designs and whatnot. I say pass and keep looking.
