Post 460 cooling system

i recently purchased a 460 to replace a bad 300 six in my 86 f150. on examination, i found the heads had a water outlet on the back of each head. they had been welded shut by the previous owner. does anyone know the purpose of these outlets, and what if any negative effects this block off will cause? any help is appreciated. dan

Are you positive they were water outlets? They may have been where the smog pump pipes connected. People take these off all the time.
