Re: lt1 build

The LT1 uses reverse cooling so you have to use specific heads.

You either use all LT1 parts or all regular SBC parts; they dont mix and match.
LT1 block , heads , intake only fit LTI
Do you actually have a LT1 because all the parts you list are not ?

If you want to put a carb on a LTI you need this
