I have a  66 110, needs a set of heads.... I have a very nice set of 63 102 
heads. all  ready to go. I know the two do not go together, but the 110 has a 
set of  cylinders on it that appear to have been sleeved on the end that fits 
in the  head ( I think G.M. did this to to some replacement cylinders, to use 
up left  over 64 cylinders ? ) I have done some measuring , it looks like if I 
remove  the sleeves, this combo will work.
Will this work? if it will, what are the  pro's and con's of this  ultra 
parts marrige?

They will probably fit on. The 102 Head, on a late 164" motor will  give you 
a higher compression ratio that your 110. I believe the chamber size on  the 
102 was smaller. The 110 motor was notorious for ping under load. Let's  just 
say it was sensitive! Has anybody on VV had a problem with a high  displacement 
102 headed motor? - Seth
