Hi
I just learned it was part of the sbc family but revered cooled .
LT1 heads and vortec are they the same? Intake, exhaust, ect?
Is that pic a Carb intake custom made? Where do you buy things like that?
And is that a ford in that pic?

The carb intake conversions are overdone and in a lot of cases poorly choosen, forget anyone mentioned it.
The Vortec heads are based on the LT1 iton heads from the b-body. Threy are not the same though the LT1 has a dry intake the Vortecs have coolant in them, one MAJOR difference right there.
The pic of the fancy engine is all totally custom and again should be ignored nothing there you need to consider. It is an LT1 though.

You do realize that, even though they are ribbed on the outside, the stock elbows, and the 1LE, are smooth on the inside? If someone were going to replace the stock elbow, I would suggest the 1LE.
You've got some good info here already. Just take your time and do some research, and DON'T believe even half of what you read on the net. Call and talk to some builders and pm some of the more knowledgeable/experienced people on here before you just believe when someone says "that's junk" or "xyz is the best"
Kind of like when someone comes on here right after they bought the edelbrock "lt4 conversion" lol
I have a moroso cai and trickflow elbow I would part with if you decide to go that way.
Welcome!

Yes, I do realize that. I was just simply saying that an aftermarket elbow just has a much smoother look to it. That and it doesn't have silencer on it. That's all. That's why I called it a smooth elbow....it just has a much nicer look compared to the stock one and the 1le.
