bolt them on bro! the only problem i know of is bolt holes in the center of the intake need to be elongated a bit since the holes on the alum heads are the same as 86 and older heads whereas your intake is for the 87 and newer style not a big deal..... perfect time for a Stealthram

They are the same heads the L98 Corvettes used in the late '80s/90s.

A performance chip or a custom tune will enhance the swap but having a MAF equipped car helps a bunch...

Never heard of 'em.

I have heard of self aligning rockers, but you don't use them on heads with guide plates.
