It's perfectly OK to fit an 11 stud head without using the last two stud holes, they just stay empty.
Are you sure it's a better head than the one you already have? Where is it from?

engine not out of the car? Would be well worth the tapping 2 more holes. But will run fine otherwise as dan said.

no not yet but i need 2 pull it out as its blowing blue smoke out at full throttle (think the rings have gone). what is the advantage of tapping the other 2 holes?
