Gen 1 Question
Well after trashing everything in the bottom end of my lt1 block and taking out the block. I have been researching and reseaching and still need a couple answers. I have a reg gen 1 sbc bottom end sitting here. I am trying to figure out how in the hell to get my lt1 topend on it. Here is a list of questions for the experts.
Are the heads and direct swap?
I know I need a electric water pump.
With the accessory bracket from a lt1 bolt up to a gen 1 block with lt1 heads?
How can I internal balance the bottom end so I can run a lt1 balancer hub?
Will I be able to modify a gen 1 cam to have a cam dowel on it?
Anything else i am forgetting let me know. I want a lt1 topend of a gen 1 bottom end.

Re: Gen 1 Question
You can't use the LT1 fuel injection without the Opti, and you can't put the Opti on a Gen 1 block, at least not without inventing the conversion for the front of the block. Someone has mounted a distributor in the conventional position and managed to adapt the Opti optical sensor.
