As long as its a one piece rear main seal the rotating assembly is exactly the same.

No.

The LT1 is a SBC Reverse Flow Small Block, with a cam driven waterpump/ignition and Aluminum head. Also known as a GEN2 or II' block.
Yes, it is 350 CI, and is 5.7 Liters, but there are many differences.
The LS1 on the other hand, is 346 CI and is a ground up design.

I think youre talking about just a classic 350 SB.

Ya i was wondering if it was basically an old chevy 350 sb.On pg 115 of the new summit mag there are engine kits for chevy 350's.Eagle makes some pretty nice kits and then Summit makes there own for a very cheap price..and i was wondering if these would work in my LT1...the part number for the eagle assembly is ESP-B13004L030.

Like I said as long as the kit says one piece rear main seal all old SBC stuff on the rotating assembly will work. I.E. there is no "special" crank for the LT1. Just use a one piece rear main seal crank from any year chevy 350.
