Newer heads fitting older SBC

[SteveS]

Does anyone know if these Chevy heads will fit on a 350 010 block? Casting numbers are 10088113 Heads are off a 1988 vette. Center bolt valve covers. Intake bolts look the same.

Thanks for any help

the heads will fit but you need the right intake. i believe they have the upright manifold bolts like the vortec and high swirl heads .

they will fit with a standard gen 1 intake.

They will fit you just need the correct intake like adams vega said, But not sure if the vortec will work, I know the bolt holes are diffrent on the "late model" heads and the vortec heads. I think the vortec is 96 and later. You will need a 87-95 intake.

I believe they are the L98 heads, alum on the Vette, cast iron on the F bodies. I have a 78 Camaro with an early 355 and those heads with an RPM Performer intake, and am 99.9% sure they have the early intake bolt pattern. I'll go out tommorrow and check for sure.
I bought the car 5 yrs ago and have only put 115 mi on it, so I really never paid attention too much to such things, as I bought with the intentions of changing the drivetrain and never really looked at the little nuances. LOL

Those heads wil fit on that block. Bolt pattern and angles are same as the early stuff. The exhaust ports are raised on those heads, so check your header alignment and use the proper gaskets. They are the smaller combustion chamber heads also.
