If you use the F-body manifolds it will bolt up, Make sure its not the small bore motor, the casting number should be 10125327.

You could swap the aluminum heads onto the iron headed caprice motor, itll save 100lbs and bump your compression back up, however they flow a little less. The caprice cam is also a little bit smaller than the LT1 cam, so you could swap that over too and youd be right back to where the T/A would have been stock.
