Those heads have induction hardened seats in the chamber to deal with no lead fuel.

If you move up to 1.77” valves that needed hardening will be cut away and you will need to install seats.

If you stick with the 1.66” valves and your stock seats are not too beat up then you might get away with just a light valve job which will not cut through that induction hardening.
