Default Will these fit?

I want to replace my cylinder heads and camshafts, and was wondering if these will work well together with the TPiS longtube headers I am getting.

Heads:

Cams:

I have a '91 L98. Thanks.

The heads, yes, the cam, no. That is a solid flat tappet cam. You need to look for a hyd. roller cam. As for the heads, ask some questions as it seems that some headers are fussy on angle plug and straight plug heads.

That cam will not work. Its a flat tappet cam, you need a roller. Ask a lot of questions and read a lot before you buy.

These are big investments, you certainly want to get it right the first time. Also consider your goals and the overall combination of parts needed to achieve them. Too much of this and too little of that can give you very disappointing results.

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate all the help. Since the first one won't work, how about this one? http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp

The cam you have picked is better suited to higher-revving engines, but it will work.

You will need a chip retuned for it.
