Just use a valley cover to hold the heads together and maybe put like engine leveler or something to make it look like its ready to be picked up but is really for the strength.

Gives a new meaning to the term "Hot Rod". Not sure how practical it would be though. The cylinder heads weigh 28 lb. apiece (I know because I weighed mine), and all those passages would eventually get filled with stale smoke and grease and be a bear to clean. A better approach might be to make some faux heads and intake manifold out of either clay and/or sheet metal.
