Decent Combo / Will it work?

Ok, 2 part question. First off, will this setup work. IE No problems bolting right up.

Second part. Car is a 91 Trans Am Vert with 350 TPI From 89. Stock except for Exhaust and a custom chip.

Parts :

Cam : "XFI" 292 Hydraulic Roller Camshaft Lift: .584"/.579" w/1.6 Rockers Duration: 292°/300°

Intake : LT1 converted intake from LT1intake.com

Heads :SBC Pro Series Aluminum Cylinder Heads

The heads are the biggest problem. They are 23*. Stock is 18 if I remember. Am I going to run into a problem?

The heads are 23* heads which are stock not 18*.
heads are raised port heads and will not fit with the LT1 intake.

this is where you get to start learning about Prom tuning my friend, i hardly doubt that the chip will work well at all. check out the TPI and PROM boards.

yeah, but your changing the combo, right? that custom chip is tailored to your current combo. it would be like expecting the jetting in my holley for my 305 to work on my 350 w/ 10.2:1 c/r and a 230/236 cam @ .050...

good, have him do a real time tune on it after you get the new motor together.
