I think those heads are more common to truck engines LQ4 and LQ9's.. they have larger camber 72cc vs the LS1/2/6 64cc.
Question, why did you chose these heads ? Not sure but maybe the 97-98 LS1 valve cover might fit (anyone ?)
Some guys use them with Turbo or superchargers. If you have not ported, milled or modify them, I would expect to see a drop of HP/TQ.

they are really ported. not sure who ported them but he said a lil over 300 cfm. they have been milled quiet a bit too to bump the compression back up.

forum.You would also be able to sell yours for more .That is if both cars valcovers are the same.If they are the same i would be interested in your centerbolt ones.
