you would get out cheaper probable by just buying a set of SBC heads instead of converting LT heads to a standard SBC, dont go through the trouble

Try reading what I said again... I said convert SBC heads TO reverse flow...

Perhaps I got a screaming deal on a set of SBC heads and want to put them on an ltx engine...

Anyone have any meaningful input?

It can be done, if the heads are radical enough and you got a good deal, then it would be worth it to convert them. Don't know where to get it done or how much it costs though.

Thanks man.

So, what heads did you get?

gregrob

iTrader: (8)

None yet. Wanting to see what it would cost to convert, in order to weigh out the benefit vs cost.

At this point it will probably be 195 AFR's. Street or Comp ported will depend on the budget.

I can get street ported very cheap though. Cheaper than AI's 190cc heads and they already have rocker studs and guide plates installed...

It opens up your single plane choices immensely, since they will all bolt right up.

I did it, Call CFM, Creative FLow Management, they did mine. Cost was $400.

It's surprizingly simple once you see a set of them done. People think that sbc and LT1 heads are so different but they are not. Honestly though, why do it to AFR 195's? They make them for LT1's and they are only 300-400 more. Unless you are getting them for a song, then I would say go for it.

Exactly what I was about to post.

If you are converting heads it better be for some killer big runner SBC heads to go on a solid roller stroker! Converting over afr 195s seems silly unless you get them for close to free.

I have gone the other way and it wasnt that hard. In your case one head needs two holes opened up. and then your steam pipe holes in the back. or you can use the back of the intake some of the newer intakes put holes back there. So use some braided line and some fittings and you are set. But if you are going to do it I would think a really good set of heads would be worth the trouble not something that is comparable to an lt4 head.

I converted a set of brodix Track 1s and it was pretty easy. Most shops would charge you about $350-400, and its totally worth it if you score a deal on them.
