What I am saying is that with a 3" stroke I really doubt that you will see much if any improvement will the aluminum heads over the stock ones. The exhaust ports are pretty much the same. The intake ports are not far behind the LT1's. There might actually be an advantage to having the 1.84 valve with the small bore.


That was my Camaro on it's second outing. It made a little over 300 RWHP. I think that it would have gone a lot faster if the IHRA hadn't changed the rules to keep me out of Stock GT!




I think that it would run pretty good. I would love to see someone run one as-is and then do a few basic mods. I think that they could turn a few heads!

Yes the 1.94's would potentially have more valve shrouding which could hinder flow despite the heads themselves flowing better is what you're saying. That is a very good point. The following is only somewhat relative, but I know someone who had good results with 350 Vortec Heads on a non vortec 305 which would be the same bore size and 1.94" valves. Still who is to say that the gains he saw was not from the much more efficient chamber vs his old 305 heads instead of flow increases.....which wouldn't be an issue with the L99 vs LT1 heads since the chambers are pretty much the same it looks like.

I guess for me it boils down to I'd already have the LT1 aluminum heads and know they are ready to bolt on, so I'd try them if for no other reason than the 50# or so off the front end.

I had a 93 trans a i did this too. t56 and a l99. I put a stock lt1 cam and springs in it to get it running while i was in the army. ended up selling it to some young gal in alabama.

Well the car in question may already have an L99 in it since I noticed the heads are iron when I was taking some accesories off of it. Or it could be just a B-body LT1. I don't know when I will get around to working on it again.
