i haven't pulled a head, to see if they were polished, just told that he had them done with the rebuild..

he had broke a header bolt in at #8 so went ahead and pulled the heads to get them rebuilt, and got them polished while they were out

Congrats! There is nothing beats the sound of a good LT1. I love mine. Well, if you are JUST NOW getting an LT1, that would put you on schedule to get a LS1 in about 2015, and the 5th gen in 2022. Not a bad time line...

Nice ride! I just upgraded my 72 elcamino with a 96LT1 and 4L60. WOW what a difference! LT1s are great motors and very durable. Hope you enjoy it.
