Re: cylinder head question

The Vortec head design was based on the LT1 cylinder head. The chamber design is very similar, as is the intake port design, though the LT1 does not have the raised ports that the Vortec heads have. The LT1 head uses the standard SBC intake port layout, but with an altered intake bolt pattern.

Why do you want to use a RJ350 manifold on an LT1? I'd bet an LT1 intake flows the same or better than the RJ intake, and it would cost you alot less to obtain
