They should because the exhaust bolt pattern on the heads accepts stock exhaust manifold gaskets such as Felpro and MR.Gasket.   I'm running small block Edy heads and headers; they bolt right up to each other.

They should just bolt right up, but I'm just curious why you want to do this.  The restrictive flow of the manifolds will most likely offset most if not all of the gain of the Eddy heads.

Gains from eddy heads !! I would call that pretty much mythical , I ported a set of Iron heads which we replaced later with Alum eddys & the dyno proved a HP gain of a Whopping 2 RWHP . they do save weight but with the heat loss to Alum the gain is minimal at best

i know it sounds goofy to want to use manifolds but my cuda is on the rotiserrie and won't be done until next spring so i bought a demon with a bone stock 340 that i can hammer on for the summer. instead of spending a bunch of money on the 340 i have a 408 for my cuda i want to drop in.
