They'll fit fine, not sure about spark plug and header/manifold clearance.
It'll raise your compression ratio quite a bit, that'll help with overall power and especially low-end torque. If you can get them for next to nothing, it's not a bad upgrade, but aftermarket heads (TF, AFR) are way better.
You'll need centerbolt valve covers, and they *might* have a different intake manifold bolt pattern as well.

I have been running those heads for years with a LT-1 intake. Hooker Super-Comp headers clear the plugs. I had to cut down a spark plug socket to fit the tight quarters, but otherwise no clearance issues.

If budgetis your game these are a pretty good choice and you will get a decent amount of low end torque out of them, but I am counting the days until I go get a pair of aftermarkets that flow better. They are a little too tame for me.

We ported them and ran them on the flow bench and got some pretty impressive numbers. Cheap head these days but can make some nice streetable power.
Hope that helps
