Head advice

Hi all, have a 76 turbo with a failed head gasket, finally got the head off today and it's not in bad shape excluding one point. It has some corrosion through the coolant channels. At no 4, the channel has corroded so far that it is only about 6mm to the edge of the piston. What do you guys think, ok to use or not? Obviously it would need good colant to reduce corosion.
I have another head that was in the boot, and it's probably better condition overall, but I don't know if it is a turbo head or not. Was there a way of identifying the turbo exhaust valves as opposed to the standard ones?
Interestingly the car had what appeared to be a copper head gasket. Performance modification?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Ben.
