corvette heads in 86 firebird

i have an 86 firebird with a 91 caprice 350 in it. the motor is rebuilt bored .30 over and has a mild cam. would the vette heads work and if so what kind of power gains would i see. im guessing they are probably vortec heads. my motor is carbed by the way the heads would be coming off of a 94 vette

Lt1 heads will not work on anything besides lt1s without a ton of mods, but if you had a caprice lt1 the factory cast iron heads flow the best of all lt1 heads from what im told.
