Engine Block Cracked

Finally got time to square away the shop and organize. Put the my 1995 donor LT1 car on the lift and started tearing into it.............IRON HEADS!!!! My bad I didnt think to check that the LT1 in a Z28 Camaro had Aluminum heads.....DOH. WTF. Anyways. I dont think the rules will allow me to run it like that since it wasnt ever a factory setup in a camaro. Thoughts?

I have a set of aluminum LT1 heads you can have. they need a refresh. I never used them just always had as a spare and never needed. they're located south of austin

Bottom ends are the same, so aluminum heads will get your compression up where the F bodies are stock. You'll definitely want to change the cam too because it will come in low on HP and waaaayy hot on torque.

Huge thank you to Morgan for saving the day. Got his heads, and Monday they'll go into the machine shop. I've had a bunch of various LT1 parts in my bins for over a decade. A little surface corrosion, but I have some LT1 cams that should be good to go. Hoping to have the car ready by the end of October.

I've always wondered if a machine shop can polish a cam the way they do a crank.
