if its the ls7 then yes, but you need a bigger bore to match and the intake..... if its the ls6 Z06 heads, then yeah, they bolt right on, even up to your ls1 intake.

If you dont have the ls6 intake already, then get the intake and heads and you'll be alright.. the ls6 is a good upgrade for the money.

Your gains will be relative to your setup. The intake port flows a substantial bit more then the ls1; however, the exhaust port is not that much better. You will probably see about 15-20 rwhp with a stock style cam and 30-40 rwhp with a much larger cam. For free it's a no-brainer, GO FOR IT. If you don't want them I'm sure I can find some one who does, heh heh.
