Head conversion pictures

If any one has some pictures of what needs to be done to convert SBC to LT1 they would be greatly appreciated.

Also since the work to be done(filling oil drain back) is not structural, could an epoxy be used to fill the drain?? Then all that needs to be done is drill the coolant hole in the deck.


Sorry if I am way off base just looking for info.

Why not just ream the hole to size and shrink or press fit the drainback tube in?

Well it depends, If you are using an LT1/4 intake you have to weld up the coolant passages, weld up the intake bolts and re-drill to Lt1 pattern and re-face the intake side of the head in addition to the oil return.
