LT1 Intake and heads

I have the opportunity to pick up a pair of aluminum LT1 heads and intake for very cheap. What modifications would be needed to make these fit on a standard small block besides having a hole for the ditributor drilled? Thanks for any info.

JKris,

One of our members (John Millican) has a lot of experience with LT1 intake modifications for distributors. You might want to contact him for details.

The LT1 heads will need to be modified to fit a gen1 SBC. I have never done it but here's a magazine scan of someone that has.

After that the LT1 intake will need partially modified just for the distributor hole.

John, is your site down? The link times out, and the email I sent you bounced back.

Sorry to hijack your thread dood.
