NO!!!

2.5L or 3.0L valves, valve positions, centerlines, lengths, etc. are ALL the same on the years of swaps we do.

I'm willing to be money that the heads were accidentally decked too far if all else with timing components was done correctly. I don't think Kinger decked them himself but anything could happen.
If that is the case, you will need to check the clearance and may need to run double gasket thickness or something...or put in custom pistons.
Make sure you check this out before you spend any more money on stock stuff.
