yes you can bolt your efi heads on there, no the pistons aren't shaped different and the valve angles and cant are the same so the valve reliefs are the same.

sure, only issue will become pushrod length on early (prior to 1971 MY) blocks but even then not by much. With EFI the cams might become an issue of coarse, and you won't be able to use your late model flywheel on a 1978 and earlier block (78 earlier are internal balance, 1979 later are external) but the heads will fit and work.
