Either here or LS1Tech have the best articles IMO. You can also try z06vette.com.

If you don't know exactly what needs to be done beforehand you might want to leave this to a shop or someone with experience. This isn't a mod where you can get away with mistakes. Good luck!

The how-to at LS1howto.com has plenty of pictures, and all you need for a heads, or H/C install. Just click on the pictures to increase their size, and print them that way. Uses alot of ink, but lots easier to see detail. I've used their instructions 3 times now, and have printouts saved for referral. Most of the stuff is getting to be familiar, but it's nice to have pictures. BTW, once I had to just do the heads, and they were WAY easier than the cam portion.

Why would a 4L60E make any difference during a heads swap??
Sorry, wrong thread.
