Default Are ALL LS1 heads the same????

I want to put ported heads on my car, it's a 99'
I found some 98 heads. Will they work? Are there any differences?

TIA!

98 heads have completely different valvecovers. They have 10 perimeter mounting bolts, while the 99+ version only have 4 centrally located mounting bolts. The 98 coil packs also mount directly onto the valvecovers, but the 99s mount to a bracket that mounts to the valvecovers.

The heads themselves internally (ports, valve sizes, etc..) are the same and are interchangable on any LS1 block though.

I have a 98 and iam installing the ls6 heads so I need to get a set of a 99-02 valve covers. If you would like we can do an even swap for my 98 valve covers.
