Gen II Heads have to be use on a Gen II Block. There is a process to modify Gen II Heads to work on a Gen I Block but it requires someone who is good with fabrication and welding. Do a search on LT1 Heads on Gen I Block.

you can find one for next to nothing if you know where to look. the lt1 swap is not as intimidating as they say. just look at the stickys and other swaps. plus it would be more worth it in the long run.just try to find one with a newISH opti on it, that can set you back like 400$
