The Cleveland heads will physically bolt on, but I beleive there's a different water jacket configuration that has to be addressed before you can use them. There may be more too, as I don't recall the specifics.

There is a great deal of jerry rigging that has to be done to make it work.

Then the gain is not worth the effort and expense it takes to perform the swap.

You can buy a box stock set of aftermarket heads that will bolt right on and way outperform the boss heads, for about the same amount of money in the end.

Good luck finding a good intake. Like Justincredible said, box stock aftermarket head will put a hurtin' on the Cleveland clunkers.
