Default LT1 cam in L98: would it work?

I'm just curious, can an LT1 cam be used in an L98? If so, what will the effects be?

The profiles are so similar that you wouldnt get much.
The main power-related difference between the two engines is the intake.

the LT1 cam has a bit more lift than the L98 bumpstick... duration is almost identical between the 2.

if youre going to go through all the trouble of swapping cams, put a better one in than the stock LT1. you wont see much of a power difference. good choices are the ZZ9, LPE 211, or the CompCams grind (cant remember the part#) with 212/218* duration
