Re: LB9 heads
Yes they would work but they're not worth swapping unless you have the engine out of the car.

There is NO power to be gained from the switch. Often times, it will cost you HP to put the stock TPI heads on.

Re: LB9 heads
The TPI and TBI heads are the same heads. You won't gain anything.

NO they are NOT, GET your facts straight before posting false information. THe TBIs used 187 heads with swirl vanes in the intake ports. The TPIs used 416s or 081s which lack the intake swirl vanes.

Not true. Different castings (with different casting #s), and used for different purposes.

Probably true, stock versus stock.
