1. Small block chevys have a better head selection than lt engines
2. Lt has reverse flow cooling where the coolant flows through the heads first instead of the block

Not worth the trouble. For your sake just stay with the LTx platform. Do some searching around regarding using a traditional SBC in a f-body.

In your case I'm sure it would've helped counter that valve bouncing problem your **** encountered when you had Lloyd and Berts nuts crammed down your throat.

LTXBOI, consider this a warning from the staff. Keep up these threads/posts and we'll be giving you a vacation. You've made over 10 posts/threads in the past 6 hours that really make you look uneducated, bored, possibly drunk, or just trollish is general. We've already locked 3 of these threads since 8am this morning.
