The only part that is common between the two is the lifters. It is a COMPLETELY different engine. Has your friend been living under a rock for the past 12 years? Ask him why a cam from a chevy 350 won't fit in a ford 351.

your best bet is to find an article or book that lists the architecture and dimensions of the ls1. The Lt1 is basically an old school small block besides small differences, thats the best I have.
