I seen them somewhere before. Here is a link to GM showing them http://www.gmpartsdepot.com/store/pr...ategory_ID=57& . It looks like a bare head.
Was there any info on flow data in the CHP article?

Unless you are willing to change the Edelbrock intake, the Vortec's are not going to work. The Vortec's have a higher intake runner and a different bolt pattern. You could buy a new intake and sell the old one, or you could go with the Summit heads which have a similiar combustion chamber but not the raised intake port.
