The Brodies are 30lbs total versus nearly 80lbs for any cast iron heads like the Vortecs. Aluminum doesnt retain heat like iron. The Brodies flow out of the box very well (dont know specifics but Richard Chan did a writeup that is posted here:
http://www.sportmachines.com/maintenance/header2.html
).
They will bolt right up but I think that the intake ports may be too tall for the stock manifolds (I think the -8s are standard, but the -10,-11s are raised runners), necessitating extensions like one would do to get the Vortecs working with the stock manifold. Im not sure about this though because the -10 lil brodies Ive had a peek at were heavily ported.
Oh, and you'll need KB headers (or highly modified ATRs) because they are angle plug heads (KB offered a set of Brodix aluminum heads with straight plugs, but I dont anything about them).
When I spoke with Jason he mentioned that they are -11 heads and that port matching had been done to maybe one of the ports, leaving a lot of work for the machinists to finish up.
This and a few more interesting discussions of the Brodies are on the old list:
