Question about heads

Last year I bought my friends 94 Z28 heads and I would like to have them machined and put them on my 93 Z28. I should have researched if they would fit before I purchased them. I was wondering if any one could help me with this question. I fixed my Temperature gage problem and I Noticed my car is running hot and I just change my waterpump. The only conclusion I think of is a blown head gasket. I figured now would be a good time to do a cam and head swap. Please advise if anyone would know the 94 Z28 heads would fit or stick to the existing heads on my 93 Z28.

Thanks....

the heads will interchange if both engines are lt1's
a hot running engine is not a conclusion that you have a bad head gasket it is one of several indicators you might have a blown head gasket. if you do the head and cam swap you still wanna verify whether you do, or donot have a blown head gasket.

IF YOU ARE GETTING WATER IN THE OIL OR IF YOUR CAR IS POURING WHITE SMOKE OUT THE BACK THIS COULD BE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. ALSO COULD BE A BAD THERMOSTAT AS A REASON FOR RUNNING HOT. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP
