Default LT1 in 3rd gen help please

Im about to swap a B body LT1 in my 92 Z28 while the engine is out I want to put some parts like .030 pistons,cam shaft and aluminum heads about the pistons I cant find LT1/LT4 pistons but I was told in Thirdgen.org that the old chevy pistons will fit but they are heavyer and I found Speed pro pistons they got alot of pistons but I want to raise the CR the stock CR is 10.5:1 is that right? If I want to raise the CR do I need to use dome pistons? are these gonna work (http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku or http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku ) I got no experience about pistons so I need help with this and about the cam shaft I will go with CC306 and dual springs,about the heads I will port them and it will be a carburetor engine not FI I guess 650cfm is enough I will finish the set up with LTs,3.73,3000 stall(or suggest the best stall) I got another question is the 700R4 will fit direct to the LT1 or not?if not what do I need to do to make it fit?

The 700r4 will bolt up perfectly. I have a question though, why go carb? If your car is a 92 it's already injected, It would be cheaper to keep it injected rather then buying a new intake, carb, distributor, fuel system, etc. Just my 2 cents.

The LT1 is already carburetor all I need is a 650cfm carb and fuel pressure regulator and Im done with it if I want to run it stock but I was thinking of something no one did it before a TPI on LT1 hows that sound? I guess impossible loool

joshh123 the pistons you are using got low compression ! I want to raise it not lower it I will go with .030 over and flat top
