Default question on 4.8 Liter Heads

What is the major diffeneces in the 4.8 Liter Heads? Would these heads work on 98 Trans Am? Would I need to have them ported or what would it take to be able to use them?

Thanks for the help?

You will need new valve covers and all associated hardware for the coils to mount to convert to '99 style covers...

Where can you get these heads and how much are they? Do they flow as good as the 5.7 LS1 heads stock?
