Default ls6 head valve type

just wondering if anyone here knows how to tell what valves are on a particular head? i just bought these heads on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123

seller wasnt sure if they had the hollow or solid valves. i plan on installing these heads along with slp's 1.85 stock type roller rockers so that there is no added nose weight and so that it makes the cam about equal to an ls6 cam.

not planning on changing the cam because its more work than i think i can handle. i have done head swaps before but the cam is more tricky and i dont want to go that far into the engine. just looking for a low 12 second car nothing too crazy.
