yes they will work,,the gen v head you have has 2.19 intake valves and the 500 hp had 2.25 intake valves.

Yes, they will bolt on and perform similarly. However, the HP 500 heads were equipped with Inconnel exhaust valves by Mercury Racing in place of the stock GM valves, so keep this in mind if you plan to run it hard or install a supercharger.
