What is the benefit of converting SBC heads to work on an LT1? Is there a much better selection?

It's night an day you can buy heads that.are ment for racing vs street heads..plus you can use a lower valve angle head if you want

can you use a single plane intake for a small block when you use the smallblock heads and not need to modify the intake as much?

you fit a single plane under your hood then come talk to me..... hahah Great write up/PICTURES YAYYYY PICTURESSSSS


haha anyway. with out laying an LT1 head gasket on a SBC head i would have never know there was THAT much difference aside from the reverse cooled opening and the steam/crossover holes.

Aside from the hood problem does anyone know if the runners match up at the correct angle to the small block heads? because I read that you need to fab the base of the single plane pretty intensely to make the angles of the runners match up with the lt1/lt4 heads correctly and was wondering if you could get around that with the small block heads

it could be done..no n2o plate or spacer could be used..but i have a short short single plane here right now..org edelbrock torker and man with a carb i think it could fit..would be tight but i think it could fit..now a eldelbrock 2725,team g or the holley strip dom like i have hell fucking now aint happening ever..i had a 3" cowl on my old 4th gen with a 327 in it and had a cheap hurrican single plane on it with a 750 carb along with a 1/2" plate and it was about 3/4" away from the bottom side of the hood.

the angle isnt the issue. the intakes all have the same degree off the china wall. its the bolt pattern thats the issue. and depending on your heads wether LT1 or LT4 were the runners land based on what intake your going to use. Vortech wont come close. Classic SBC intakes fit best but will take some massaging around the ports to get em to mate up perfect with the heads. but take an LT1 top end apart and the shit doesnt match up perfect anyway.
