Yes, they will bolt right on. But the question is why? They have different sized chambers so they will lower your compression. Are you going turbo?

Yes they will work, but will lower compression ration to around 9:1 from what I have heard. If going turbo it is a good setup. If not I would go with ls1 heads. I have a pair with stock valves if interested. Just throwing it out there if interested. Josh
