I keep getting ask this question or told they did but I believe they did not.

Maybe if they went to an aftermarket company after GM built them.

Thx. in advance.

113 heads from vette's are common swaps, and LT1 engines have AL heads (the complete engine is a common swap). But nope, nothing factory.

The aluminum 113 casting heads from the Corvette L98 will work on a iron head L98.
