Depends. Those are 4 bolt caps and lt1's in the fbodies had 2 bolt caps. If it's a vette lt1/lt4 then those would work. I would say no look for a 2 bolt cap for your application.

These will work but some machine work is required. The expense is not practical though if you are not making really big power.

+1. I mean you could have those holes tapped but 2 bolt mains are plenty stout for under atleast 500rwhp...

What you really want are the splayed main caps. They are actually stronger than standard 4 bolt mains, but do require machining.
BOL.
