L35 Heads

I am in the process of doing my motor buildup. What trucks came with L35 heads? Are they just the factory 4.3 vortec heads? I have a chance to snag a complete 96 4.3 vortec for free and was wondering if they are indeed the L35 heads. Thanks.

Thanks, my browser gives me problems when changing page numbers, dont know why. So the 96 heads are L35s but are not a direct bolt on since they have different intake bolt patterns.

"The '94-'95 CPI head (still an L35 code) has only two possible casting nos. available #10238181 & 10240209 that has a 30 degree top angle cut in the ports
and screw-in rocker studs, with the top of the ports having a small circular cutout. The '94-'95 TBI head (still an LB4 code) also has the same two possible casting numbers."

So this also means that both L35 and LB4 code heads have the same casting numbers?

96 is not L35. it is true vortec and not a direct bolt on. I will buy those heads from you if you do not use them or I can modify them to work on your motor if you would like to use them. I also have some L35's I will trade for those heads if interested, pm, email or aim me.
