Different set of heads on a 440?

[TelisSE440]

Hi, in an older post ( http://www.cuda-challenger.com/cc/index.php?topic=118521.60 ) about a leaking 440, i discovered that my driver's side cast 906 head was cracked. Anyway i bought a used set of 906 heads and just i was finishing the cleaning job on the replacement head, i discovered that my cracked and replacement heads are different, my cracked head was ported and my new one is stock. My question is this, can i install it and get it done with, or i will have to port the replacement one? Is it a matter of doing damage or just low performance result? (which i don't care)

won't matter except for performance. Only issue might be if old heads were decked, you could end up with manifold alignment issues.

why not do a little bowl cleanup on the stock head?
porting seems fairly easy, if done right. Lots of You-tube
videos on it

Unfortunately, i don't have the tools and i've moved far away from my budget with this head crack. Would like to do it a lot, but can't afford it now...
