Lt1 heads on Gen 1 sbc As the title states, i would like put my Trick Flow 195cc heads on a gen 1 sbc. My lt1 block cracked and i have several Gen1 blocks laying around and just want to transplant my guts into that block along with those heads. I know that i will have to get an intake for the Lt1 or get a victor jr because i am going carb, because its only a race only setup. If any one could point me in the direction that i need to go that would be great. The heads are brand new with less that 100 miles on them. Damn the 3.875 stroke anyway.
I have had these on craigslist with no bites, so if some one could point me in the right direction or if you want these heads, make me an offer. i live near pittsburg Pa. Thanks for the help in advance.

I do. Two oblong holes (may not be oblong shaped in an aftermarket head) in the deck of each head need lugged. Mine have pieces of aluminum plate welded in and the heads surfaced. I have seen guys run the factory stainless steam pipe, others use -6 hoses in it's place, going to the original location in the top of the passenger side radiator tank. Fronts got drilled out to 3/8" NPT and -10 AN fittings installed. At the driver's side radiator I used a 6" piece of 1 1/2" exhaust tubing with a cap welded on one end. Then two -10 AN fittings for coolant hoses from the front of the heads. What I have gone to this last time, to force more coolant between the center cylinders, are 1/4" NPT Jeg's push button cooling system bleeders to get air out when filling it with coolant.
LT1 blocks are crap, but later model SBCs are too. Older SBC blocks are better.

Weld plugs in those two holes, surface the heads, take water out the front of the heads since there is no water cross over to feed a thermostat housing & upper hose. Not a big deal.
