Did I score big?

Did I score big?
I went to the junkyard today hoping to find that all ellusive plastic tailgate for my Custom Cruiser only to come up short. But I figured that while we were there we should check everything out. Now this particular yard as an old cars section. I was checking all the old Oldsmobile engines to see what I could find. I found some engine with a 6A head and a 10 head engine. Thank god for my Iphone I looked them up on 442.com and found they weren't that good so I kept looking. And I found this old Oldsmobile 88 with number 7 heads. Not 7A or 7 littleA. But plain old 7. I looked them up as I hadn't heard anyone mention just a 7 head. From what I read the 7 is a higher compression head like the 7 little A but with bigger valves(W31). So we took them off and got them for $50. So did I get a deal? And is that engine worth going back for?
