Will LT1 Heads Bolt to an L98 block?
Simple question, probably answered before. I can seem to find the answer in a search.
My l98 has 160,000.00 miles on it. I think my head gasket is bad causing to much pressure in my radiator causing them to blow.
I would like aluminum heads. I don't care if there used as long as they bolt up. Cant find the corvette L98 heads.
Here is the catch I need need SUM-G9005 shorty headers to bolt up and the HSR I have

To bolt up to them as well. Any suggestions? Any for sale? Let me know. Thank you.

Lt1 heads need to be modded pretty extensively to bolt and work with L98 blocks.
Not really worth it imo. Unless you could port and weld by yourself

Any aluminum head for standard sbc will work. Any as in your typical 23 deg 175-210cc style heads. Hsr will need to stick with a sub 200cc for the smaller 1205 gasket size

Work? they say only 180cc but you suggest 200cc would that be a major problem?

I stay away from ebay most of the time. Too many cheap products out there
