As the title reads, I'm looking for info on modifying SBC heads to work on an lt1 block. Id also be interested in knowing the names/ prices of any shops that you know of that do it. Thanks!

Well I figured I would run a SBC intake with the SBC heads to help cut costs. At that point it would be a direct bolt on.
I think there were some passages on the SBC intake that would need to be closed up as well, but I'm not sure on that one.Quote:

Thanks for the links. I've actually already contacted cfm and the person I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about. I will hit them up again. Thanks!
No problem. I was looking into doing the same thing but ended up just sending my stock heads to Lloyd.
I know CFM used to do the conversion a member on here had it done. I cant remember his screen name
Just checked my old PM's. His screen name is Dave357LT1
OK thanks. I will hit him up. Im looking into going with a single plane setup anyways. If I can get SBC heads converted for $400 not only would I have more head options but I wouldn't have to pay for intake manifold modding
