If youre really bent on doing it that way, you can weld and mill it, however from what I understand, filling aluminum in requires heating quite a bit with a rosebud and some careful welding to keep from developing voids.
I think its easier just to use gaskets with the notch.

I don't think you can use the words "cheap" and "boost" in the same sentence (well, maybe this one) 
. Those heads don't look too special from the pictures, I'd suggest selling them and trying to get a set of 241/243 castings if you're dead set on getting the GM gaskets.
You could also get the $30/each AZ composite gaskets that are .042" compressed thickness. Those will work with your notche head or with the latter castings.

and selling these heads: allmost nobody here has a Ls engine series car, let alone interest in buying a used set.
And for me getting a 241/243 casting provides the same problem....
I have these heads and when possible will use them.
i don't like composite gaskets, they tend to blow/ deteriorate quite fast when abused
