Don't think there is much of any way to make them work since they are of a totally different design.

Re: ls1 heads on lt1?

Back when the LS1 was about to show up on the Camaro/corvette I remember reading somewhere that the LS1 parts were not interchangeable with other small blacks due to being of a totally new design.

I doubt that swap is possible.

The time, engineering, machining and money (money to pay for the time, engineering, and machining) wouldn't be worth it, just to put LSx heads onto an LTx block. Just buy the LSx engine and be done with.
