317's are 6.0 l truck heads, not ls6 heads. they are usually used for boost since they have a larger combustion chamber

hard to tell..they flow better then your stock heads but they have larger combustion chambers which would bring down your compression and with an na motor higher compression is what you want. Honestly i wouldn't go through all the trouble of putting them on unless you plan on boosting your ride and even then it would be benificial to get them ported first
