Lt1 retrofit

lt1 blocks are becomming increasingly cheaper, and easier to come by im curently thinking of purchassing one from a local junkyard i frequent (Tacreationsusa.com awesome play if you live in sf a little $$ though) but i was wondering if the plugs on the heads are straight or angled and if they are angled at what degrees are they angled at did couple searches on the web and couldnt find too much thanks in advance

It may depend on the engine you acquire. I know that stock, iron-headed LT1s have straight plugs.

If you get one, make sure you get the exhaust manifolds and EGR supply tube with the engine.

:lala: :lala: :lala:

haha yea i think they are angled (alum stock camaro heads) but im not sure i have to pull the heads out of my garage (looks like afganistan after the us bombed it) and look thats for the info but who wants manifolds when you could use headers and if i took the egr off this car would it run even if it spit a code and if it justs spits a code would it run in sd or the other one that uses maf

im using an lt1 out of a 95 ta or z28 or formula

No, that LT4 setup was LT4 heads and an LT4 intake.
