Default what to do, what to do???

So I yanked a motor and trans out of a 93 TA. So now I have a motor and trans ..... I know I'm going to rebuild the trans and get it ready to go into the car, but what do I do with the engine and wheels. I took all of the wheels and tires since they were in relatively good shape. So now I have the 16" TA wheels too. I'm thinking of sending the heads to AI or LE but if I do that it's going to put my plans for a 408 on the way back burner and I really don't want to do that. But nobody wants these heads, so what do I do? Do I end up putting them on my motor and not really having what I want or do I just toss them in the garbage? BTW, these heads, no matter how much work they have, will NOT end up on my 408.....they won't flow enough. If anyone really wants these heads, make me an offer, I'm pretty open.

What's their casting number?

No one wants them?? I sold my stock LT1 heads a few weeks ago; you can sell yours too.

Ported stock heads have made over 500 HP on a 383.

They're the 374 castings......And they won't be able to support my plans no matter how much they're worked (408 and a blower with a SR cam). I had one guy interested, but it seems like no one is interested......
