No, its completely different. I think only 2-3 parts were carried over to the lt series.

as a bolt on, no. however.. it depends on the placement of the new heads' bolt holes. the dowl placement points would need to be changed but i do not know how the rest of the bolt holes would fair. yes, the lt1 shares very little but it does share a very similar 4 bolt per cylinder setup.
