The answer to the first question is "Yes, you can put them on the car (they would look pretty funny on the roof), but you can't put them on the engine."

That being the case, the other two questions are moot.

The LS1 was almost a completely clean sheet of paper. The number of parts that interchange is very, very small.

Great engine, though.

Which heads are they, exactly?

You should be able to get something out of them. Apparently the '98 heads were one-year-wonders, and nobody wants them.
