Re: fitment question

you wanna do what now?


I got out of this.. ls1 swap... heads and manifold from old motor onto the ls1?

The heads will fit.. and the manifold with fit on the heads as long as they are not vortec heads... but why would you wanna run older heads on a newer motor.. if your gonna swap in an ls1 i'd use the heads off of it. Much better.

but dont take my tech as 200% true... i could be wrong. wouldn't be the first time.
