What engine???
I know I've seen pictures an procedures to get the intake off an L98,
From there the heads are pretty obvious.
LT1 is soo simple you don't need pictures
You will need the factory service manual for the torque sequence when you put them back on.

Other than that, it's basically just a remove and rebuild. Make sure the block sealing surface is smooth and ultra clean. It will not be smooth as glass, as the gasket needs something to stick to, or it will leak. Use acetone to clean the block sealing surface and the heads prior to setting the heads down.
Use new head bolts when you do the job. The Fel-Pro bolts already have the sealant applied to them.
Other than that, it's pretty straight forward. Take pics and post them if you have questions. Someone on here will see it and answer it.
If you don't have a factory service manual, definitely get one before you start.

I got mine from Ecklers or Mid America. It will cost around $150 plus, but it is well worth it if you are going todo a lot of your own maintenance. These are service manuals for all the systems on the car.
