Engine Question?

Hey Guys I was thinking of putting some LS7 heads on my LT1. Can I use LS2 rockers and push rods for this??

You have to use L99 rockers, the gen 2 L99 not the gen 4.

Just make sure you don't get over 10:1 compression or you will have to run race gas...

Also don't run that Ethanol crap it is VERY dirty...

Make sure you use red loctite on all the lugnuts so your wheels don't fall off.
