No those wont work right on your thirdgen f-body iron headed 2.8L as a bolt on item. I never knew there was aluminum heads on a S-10 2.8L. I thought only FWD cars had the aluminum heads. The pictures on the link remind me of gen 3 heads. Im sure the compression would be insanely high if you put them on your car. The chamber is about half the size of the iron heads. Id bet 13:1 or greater compression ratio if you just bolted those heads on and made it work without swapping out the current pistons you have.

No problem. FYI your stuck with iron heads on that car unless you do a hybrid aluminum head swap. For more info just google "hybrid V6 thirdgen" and you'll find tons of info on it.
