The advantages of the LT1 motor are that u can run a little more compression and a more aggresive timing curve...
The motor is also reverse cooled meaning the water goes from the WP right into the head (colder water means more C/R and more timing) then into the block....you CANNOT swap heads from a LT1 to a gen 1 SBC...
so if that kit is for a SBC then it wont work on a LT1...not without extensive modifications
This is the wonrg forum for this BTW
