They made 2 dfferent LS6 heads. 1970 was a closed chamber rec port with 109cc chamber and 1971 was a open chamber rec port with 118cc chamber. Keep in mind the LS6 heads were on MK IV's and the 088's are Gen V up so you need the correct head gasket depending on the blocks you will be using.

you can tell an open from a closed chamber at a glance. closed looks like a bathtub with 2 flat quench areas either side of the tub. open is rounded essentially a semi-hemi shape.
