Default Big block RV heads questions.

I have a 1973 RV 440 project. Mild build streetable looking to make 500 hp with manners. One of my RV heads has a cracked valve seat. Will a set of regular 440 heads work ok? If so what about those 5 quarter sized coolant holes in my block? Ignore them? If regular heads will work, is there any danger of air pockets in those locations of the block that could lead to hot spots and a cracked block??? Info from anyone with knowledge of, or success with this kind of build would be greatly appreciated!!! Oh, I'am not using it in a RV, it's going in a Ram.. Thanks.

A cracked valve seat may be an easy repair!
