Not 990's, those are square port HP heads and the LS3 should have ovals. Possibly 6272292's.

Hmmm... THat'll be the first thing I check after i pull it, had to take the alt out to get the front padm and it still has to drive to my fatehrs where we'll disembowel it. Got a feeling that it'll spew oil if i take the VC off and dont use a new gasket. Now to work on problem #1. Disposal of most of a 78 Suburban.
