Ok, I probably sound like a complete retard asking these, but couldn't find em searching...

I'm curious if LT1 heads will bolt on to a later model 350 block.

I have a block from an '88 K1500 truck that ate a rod bearing, I'm planning on having the bottom end built up with some hypereutic pistons, puched 060 over, roller cam & roller lifters.

I'm looking at getting a 94+ LT1 intake manifold, modifying it as per lt1intakes.com so it can take a distributor, and controlling it with a TPI camaro ECM/dizzy. I would like to avoid going with an LT1 block as I'd rather not mess with optispark. And I am going to keep it OBD-1 as I already have a bunch of scanning/programming tools to do GM obd-1 ECM's.

Now my question is, will a pair of LT1 heads fit on a newer 350 block (stock?)? If not, what modifications are necessary, or is it not worth the effort to do so?

not sure if it will work because the heads are a reverse flow design, different that Gen 1 blocks. but i could be wrong. but if you get it to work shoot us some pics. id like to see it run. keep us posted

Like harvickgm said, the reverse flow is going to mess you up there i believe.

you have to weld a plug in a hole in each of the heads to make them work on the standard sbc to me its not worth the trouble
