Default LT1 block questions

I have a couple of questions. First, is the LT1 block basically just a one piece seal block? if not then what are the differences? Also I have a 4l60 in my 93 right? not a 4l60e? So I can use a converter for a 700r4?

correct one piece rear main. Yes 4l60 in a 93. 700r4 is just a less facnier name for the same transmission

It is basically just a SBC block, also remember the block has passages for our reverse cooling heads.

The water pump outlets are a little different as is the timing cover for the water pump drive. The pump is driven off the cam gear

As pointed out above. The LT1's front is totally different fron a Gen I block. But there are some very slight differences in the Cranks. I have a LT1 crank and a crank from my 90 Blazer. The snouts are different. Same diameter but the LT1 is a little longer.
