Question about LT1 heads

I have a set of alum LT1 heads that I'd like to fit with a set of 2.0" and 1.55" valves. One shop told me it can't be done without new seats, but I could swear I've heard of it being done using the factory seats.
Anyone have any firsthand info on this?

Thanks for helping

The best way to contact him is e-mail him at NightTrain66@msn.com. His website is www.eportworks.com, but he doesn't have much on there.

He just started his website, but being that his prices are low (for now) and his workload high it is taking a while..

email and he will respond with boatloads of info.. good guy to work with.
