Re: LT1 Head Swap instructions needed! i can help u walk through it if you would like. just let me know. I just got done swaping mine on my 96. its easy. what type of questions do you have?????
Re: LT1 Head Swap instructions needed! Thanks, I forgot I posted this question here. Well, I didn't have any specific questions about it, just wondered if there are any "gotchas" or quirks I should know about. I found out about the need for burping the reverse-flow cooling system the hard way. It looks like I might be just pulling the motor and rebuilding the whole thing since it has 150,000 miles on it.
Can all of the bolts and fasteners be reused, or should some of them be replaced? I know the LS1 has torque-to-yeild bolts in places that cannot be reused.

Re: LT1 Head Swap instructions needed! Our cars with the aluminum heads have torqe to yeild bolts also. So you are going to want to replace them. I think i payed a little under 500 dollars for all the bolts and gaskets for the motor. It makes the rebuild go alot smoother using all new bolts.
