Hi i am wondering since i want to buy a z28 but it needs a rebuild engine and i have a L98 from a camaro and i was wondering if i can bolt on the heads from the LT1 to it for i could buy the car

 

"Bolt to"? Yes.

"Work"? No. At least, not without extensive (and expensive) modifications.

 

Just curious, where did the LT1 heads come from? What car are you thinking of buying specifically (year, model, engine, etc.)?

"Norwalk, CA" means it has to be emissions-legal, and a L98/LT1 hybrid would not be.

 

If I'm understanding this correctly, you're looking at a '93-'97 Z28 that has a blown engine (but the heads are okay), which you would buy if your L98 shortblock would work in it. Basically, the answer is "no", primarily for the emissions reasons above.

You could make it run with TPI induction/controls with modifications to the LT1 heads, but no way no how would it pass emissions inspection.

 

Yes you are right i want to buy a 4th gen camaro and put my L98 block with the heads of the Lt1 as for the smog i got some one that could pass it for me no matter what so that really isnt a problem for me

 

It's just not worth it. If you want the car, find a good LT1 for it. They aren't that expensive. Sell the L98 to finance it if you have to.

 

I will do that around how much are the L98 worth

 

L98 shortblock is just a generic flat top 350 with 2 bolt mains and 1 pc RMS. A good one usually goes for $200 or less depending on the miles

 

Its because i already replaced all the gaskets and the rings and rebuilt the heads
