You can run those heads on that block if you would like. Being they are not '98 heads you can run either the graphite or MLS gaskets from GM. ARP bolts or GM bolts will work as well. You will need to get center-bolt valve covers and coil brackets along with valve cover gaskets and you will be good to go. We have everything on the shelf!
