We just got a 96 sb chevy and need to know if the a set of older heads would work on it?

If you were gonna keep it stock id put the vortec heads back on they are a pretty decent head for a factory casting
5.0L casting # 059
5.7L casting # 906 or 062

Re: Vortech V8

if you use older heads, you will have to use an older style intake also.
The difference in the newer heads and intakes is that two of the bolts are at a different angle than the old style.

I thought that was it, but wanted to make sure, I got a line on some double hump 2.02's for it.

Re: Vortech V8

double humps will bolt right up,

You can get brand new vortec heads for @ 550.00 and make more power than double humps though.
