    I only siliconed one of the 2 mating surfaces. Won't be making that mistake again.

    Got home two days ago. Nice to be back home. Bought two LT1/T56 combos. One was in the form a whole running/driving parts car. If anyone wants the body/frame/whatever after Im done stripping parts off of it (im taking: engine/trans/rear end) you are welcome. Not asking anything for it, take the whole thing away if you want it.

    This is the final direction I'll be going. Hopefully it gets me back on the track the quickest most cost efficient way.

    I wish someone would teach me the magic of keeping an LT running on track, I can't do it! I hope it runs great for you.

    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'd defer to Michael but I don't think anyone here will care enough to to stop you

    The iron heads are a disadvantage across the board and if it gets you running faster to drop it in as is I'd just go for it

    Try find another lt1 w aluminum heads later and get it setup the way you want to drop in later

    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.
