There are I believe three different part numbers over the years for aluminum LT1 heads. But none are Vette specific.
Are These LT1 Vette Heads??

Are These LT1 Vette Heads??
How can I tell if a set of aluminum heads installed on a 96 LT1 Vette are actually Vette heads and not 'F' body, etc.?
I plan to sell the LT1 engine I just pulled from my 96 and don't want to advertise something that isn't correct.

Then maybe it's the casting numbers. I recall reading that certain heads are more desirable than others.
Some of the head porters will port a set of heads on an exchange basis, but want certain heads with certain casting numbers.
Can you shed any light on that?
Thanks,
Jake

Thanks for the responses.
Now if I can only figure out where the LT1 steam vent tube connects to the TB I'll be a Happy Camper.
My TB has so many places to connect hoses I wonder what in the HE** GM was thinking.
