Yes.

Just make sure it's dot to dot. Since it's apart, replace the LT long block to LS long block. It'll be easier for you when you do the cam swap, trust me.

Not even close to being the same size if you ever saw them side by side.

No it wont fit you need to file the lobes down. Ls1 cams work great with tpi intakes.

thanks guys, it was an honest question as I've never seen an lt1 cam or block.
to the guys who felt the need to be ******** with their answers please refrain from commenting on my threads again. Thanks

A lt1 cam in a ls1? Hmm.
Now i know the key to unlocking 1,000,000 rwhp .
In all realness its like the others said. Its not designed for it and if you saw them side by side youd realize how this question makes some people wonder
