ls1 valve in ls6 head?
ls1 valve in ls6 head? is that doable?
I have an aftermarket cam and am wanting to put my ls6 heads on but I was wondering if I could re-use my stock ls1 valves and 7.4 TR pushrods on the LS6 head.
thanks for all the help

Pretty sure that they will work. The only difference, if I'm not mistaken, is that the '02 - '04 ZO6 LS6 head had the sodium filled exhaust valve while the '01 ZO6 head and the LS2 heads, all 243 castings did not. Hope this helps!

Also you need a valvejob on any new valve you put in, even used.
And with stock seats no bigger than 2.02 intake and 1.57 exhaust

FYI, I just got a set of stock 853 heads from a guy and all but a few valves were bent. This was with a stock cam, valvetrain, and stock rev limiter. The stems were OK, but the valves' heads were tuliped. It wasn't bad enough to keep from getting a concentric seat cut into them, but a clean backcut was out of the question. At the very least, get a valvejob and have the valves lapped.
