I would not take the previous owners word for it, he may be telling you what he was told. Bring the parts you want to replace in with you.

I had this very same thing happen on my previous truck, the person I purchased it from claimed it was the engine out of a 69 suburban and it turned out to be out of an 85 camaro.

Even if the engine is from the 78 Blazer there is way to know if the heads came from the same vehicle without doing some more investigating.
