Re: C5R heads again! Maybe so. I know they would bolt up but that would be another issue all together. Just contact someone who works with the heads. I'm sure they could be adapted to work. If not you could always pick up a resleeved block or get the C5R block <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

C5R heads again! I am just woundering if those could be installed on Ls1(98 in my case) just like ls1 or ls6 heads?!??! is there any other considerations besides the intake?? is there a custom intake that would fit for those??
TIA

Re: C5R heads again! They will bolt up fine to any Gen 3 small block. All you need is the intake, the new Jesel rocker design, the valves, the valvetrain components, new valvecovers, and a port job. Most shops are recommending running titanium valves in these heads. Give Nick Agostino a call he has a few sets of these on the shelf.
