Default LS1... would this work??

Is it possible to use LS1 aluminum heads on a mid 70's small block?

Thanks,
Jerry

Don't think so. Different cooling...reverse flow, if I remember right. Course, I could just be dumb. :cheers:

Totally different generation of small block. No parts are interchangable. :confused:

You can consider the "Classic" small block as Gen 1. Then you have Gen 2, the LT1 of '92-'96. Only major part interchangable with Gen 1 was the crankshaft. Then the Gen 3, the LS1. No marjor parts interchangable with Gen 1 or Gen 2. Totaly different designs.

I have to reply just because I saw LS1. The answer is no way, no how.

That's what I thought, thanks for the replies!

What do a good set of LS1 heads go for, anyway?

Thanks,
Jerry

It depends on if they are stock or ported. huge price difference. Anywhere from a couple hundred to over a thousand. What do you have?
