Hehe yes you walk over to your engine bay look at your engine then more specifically your heads and see if they're iron or aluminum. Yes my buddies 94 z has aluminum heads on it and pretty the 93's did aswell.

Actually, all 93-97 F-body LT1s had iron cylinder heads that were painted silver. Only the Corvette LT1s received the aluminum heads. That is why when you look in the classified ads or on Autotrader, and a dealership advertises a F-Body with the Corvette engine, you know an aluminum headed LT1 has been swapped in.
