differences between f-body and Impala LT1's?
Besides the obvious iron heads on the IMpala, are there any other differences.
I seem to remember reading that maybe the Impala head gasket was thinner.
I need ti put a used engine in my car, and there are several in my area from Impala SS's that are in the 60-70k mile range for around $500.
my plan is to get one, swap my aluminum heads and lunati cam into it and go.

Why does it need to be from an Impala or 9C1? I KNOW the answer to that is you are IGNORANT. The 9C1 could get a L99 but the Roadmaster and Fleetwood or even Caprice sedans got the LT1 standard and it was an option on civilian Caprices.
Frankly I would sooner avoid a Impala or 9C1 engine because of more likely abuse. Find a nice wagon, Fleetwood, Roadmaster or civilian Caprice engine, they likely lead an easier life and are the same EXACT thing.
