TPI or LT1 Long Block?

would TPI bolt up to this? I know there are differences betweent eh Lt1 and L98, but I dont know where the differences lay. Im just exploring my options since I need a new engine. I want to keep it below or around $3000 including removla and installation

That LT1 block has the reverse flow heads on it, therefore a TPI intake will not work. I am not sure if the actual block is different. I think it could be.

You could use an LT1 longblock on it, but you're also going to need the accessories and bracket, water pump, and custom PS lines, blockoff the water neck on the intake you have, and some other hose changes.
