dam really? i thought some things were compatable with the old 350's so there would be a seperite line of parts specifically for the ls1/ls6 motor then? are any of the parts compatible even if the cam and roller rockers are not?

The only thing that could work would be the valve springs, but SBC (old 350s) usually use very low lift copmpared to LS1, so those springs may only work on a stock cam. The LS1 only has the bore spacing the same as an SBC, everything else is totally different and nothing is interchanble.

none of it will work. stock rocker ratio on the old sb is 1.5 stock for ls1 is 1.7

good deal prob if you had a old school 350 but you can make way more power with the ls1

for less.

Only thing compatible is the gas in the tank.
