It might be usable in theory, but I have to imagine it would run like ****, and maybe fail sooner.

Not as is. You need to have them welded and machined for best results.

I've thrown a head with a significantly damaged combustion chamber onto a block to get me by in a pinch. As long as the valves are sealing well enough it can technically be used.

I'd get it worked over by a machine shop for anything you care about though.

that's an odd looking intake valve. Must be some off-brand or something.
