Default free heads in Iraq!!

So here is the story: IP truck blows up. Low and behold its the new chevy truck . So we drag it to an IP station as a good will favor. The IP General said I could take what I want off the truck. There is no damage to the heads, despite the engine landed 10ft away from the truck. Should I take the heads off and mail them home? And what size tools will I need just for the heads?

Usually truck heads have a larger chamber resulting in a lower compression ratio, which makes them less desirable. Just my 2 cents.

After further inspection of the heads I deemed these heads unworthy even before I took them off. an EFP(armor piercing IED) hit it through the bottom and went trhough one of the heads. Oh well, here are some pics anyways. The other vehicals lined up with this truck are other trucks that were messed up. The other trucks next to them are the remaining.
