no the gen I heads are completely different from the gen III to IV heads. you would have to get headers specific for a gen III ls6 swap for your jeep. the exhaust ports on the gen I have the two middle cylinder exhaust ports right next to each other where the gen III style (ls6) have the exhaust ports evenly spaced out, kind of like the old syle big blocks. unless you got a gen III header flang and modified the tubes. i don't know how attached you are to those headers.
