Hey mort2000 welcome to fte. The heads on on a 88 are different if you have the efi. speed density air intake. The angle for the intakes are different from the carb. intakes.This is what I picked up in the big block forum. Havn't tried it myself. can't say on the timing chain I just installed a double roller on mine with no troubles ( it was labeled for an 88. there is lots of great info if you search the big block forum..
