LT1 heads do work on an LT1 block...but why swap an LT1 after you just got it running?

Re: got some ?

i know what you meant... LT1 heads will require extensive machine work to function properly... they will bolt right up... however it would be a disaster to try it due to the fact they are designed for the reverse flow cooling system of the LT1 block
