LT1+L98?

I have a pair of heads out of an LT1 vette. I have an 86 z28 with a 350 tpi. curious if the heads will match to the block. I know the intake will need to be swapped, not sure about heads.

Sell them, buy a set of Vortec heads. Cheaper, as good as performance on an L98.

Yup. Vortecs are basically just LT1 heads designed to work on the Gen 1 engine (which is what your L98 is).
