Back when these trucks were made engine castings were not modified every year so it is quite possible to have E8(1988) heads on a '94 truck. I don't know the big block motors at all so I can't say what casting numbers do exist but as an example the E7TE(1987) SBF heads were used on regular production small block V8's right up until 1997.
