The LT1 style heads are "reverse cooling" design where standard SBC is not..The LT1 heads could be converted to standard(probably), but would cost more than a set of SBC heads new. Alot of LT1 guys get SBC heads and convert them to reverse cool, but i've never heard of converting LT1 heads to standard. Don't know.

If I remember correctly, someone on TGO did it awhile back I'll see if I can find it.
