Hi guys
I am wanting to start a 383 lt1 build. I was going to do a prochager build but they are a little pricey so I'm am going n/a. I have a set of conventional sbc heads from a project that is now sold. What dose it take to make the 23 degree heads work on the lt. If it is not worth it I may just sell them and get something else. The heads are jegs brand 2.10 intake and 1.60 ext with unported 220 cc runners. I was just looking for some input.

Look at the difference in the water pump gaskets and you'll see it is not a viable option for most to convert SBC heads to reverse cooling LT1 heads.

What kind of cash you got to spend?

I would like to stay around 6k and by the looks of it 1/3 of it is going to be on a new set of heads. We all know that what ever the bubget is add 2k to by the time your done. Those heads will most likley be for sale!

I would like to use the 2k for the rear suspension on the car and a good converter.

if i were you i would look for a set of used stock aluminum lt1 heads (classifieds, craigslist etc.). i reused the stock aluminum heads that came off the lt1 that came in my car and had a machine shop go through them and port them as well as install upgraded springs

I think competition performance or someone was doing it for $400, but the you'd need a super Vic and an elbow and a cowl hood and a ls1 tb and rails and blah blah

No the saying is multiply the budget x 2 and add 1.5 years.
