Some people mistakenly refer to all of the rectangle port castings as "LS3" cylinder heads, that come with huge 2.165" intake valves (LS3 are hollow stem, L92, L99 are solid)

The heads that are in the RHS link are LS7 cylinder heads, for small bore 3.90" -up (LS1 5.7L-up), the 4.8L engine that the OP has is only 3.78" bore

While the LS7 heads are a rectangle port, they are a different size rectangle port as compared to "LS3" cylinder heads (see pic)

You would need to run a LS7 intake manifold with the RHS cyl. heads

hope this clears up any confusion
