Default Side pipe question for GM Fast Burn Heads

Going to purchase chrome side pipes and only chrome. Will the header fit over GM fast burn aluminum heads without leaking or blowing gaskets?

I'm pretty sure being chrome shouldn't be any different than my ceramic coated set and I have the Fastburn 385 with side pipes.
They fit fine but get better gaskets than Hooker supplies.

I understood that it was the ZZ4 block that was common between the two and that the fastburn heads were added making the FB385.
The ZZ4 uses the L98 heads doesn't it?
