Spare cracked heads advice???

I have been trying my hand at finding Vortec heads for a while now. No luck; last set was from Craig's list; they were relatively cheap in comparison to bone yards, so I took a chance. Guess what, bad chance... The guy said he'd find me another set, but you know, never came through, so I given up on those. I have this set sitting here with multiple cracks in them. My question: Is there anything worth keeping on these? I figured I'll just scrap them and get some money back, but would like to salvage anything that may be of use. What can you guys suggest? Thanks.

if they have upgraded valvetrain then you might want to keep that, if its all stock then scrap them
