Could an LT1 shortblock be used in an 89?
Basically, I'd be using a custom grind cam (230/230 0.560") and a SR and am currently looking towards the AFR 195 Eliminators.
Would an LT1 shortblock work without issue / much fabrication?
What would the difference be? I have the SR, and still have to buy the cam and heads. Would I need to buy LT1 specific heads to use on the aforementioned shortblock?

Not w/o a lot of work.
LT1/4's are reversed cooled, with a engine driven waterpump and a optical distributor up front.
AFR makes heads for your car, and an LT1 intake will work, but it would need to be modified.
