You are welcome.
The heads have more water capacity and look just like the originals. You will need longer head bolts. His instructions sheet states that when you install the left head you have to put two bolts in before you set the head on the block as the steering column is in the way. In addition, I had a problem with my steering column which you may have too. I couldn't get the head on so had to unbolt the steering column from the dash to get it on. His instruction don't mention it but I had trouble with the upper left bolt for the left cylinder head as my left exhaust manifold was in the way. Next time I'll put that bolt in before I put the head on.

Additional comments: Use a thread chaser on all the head bolt holes in the block. Make sure they are nice and clean. If you use head gaskets with a copper side make sure the copper side is against the block. I put hardening Permatex on the end of the bolts when I put them in.
