well yeah...even the lt4s are direct bolt on...but you'll need the lt4 intake since the lt1 doesn't fit those heads.

but if they are identical..non-lt4...why would you wanna do it?

that's like swapping a stock cam for a brand new STOCK cam

Not if you want to keep your stock heads, and port/polish the hell out of the others.

Yes, If it is a LT1
If they are LT4 you will need the intake as well

If swapping a used set, be sure to relocate the water temp sensor.

They are located on the pass side of the Vette & Driver side on a Camaro..... or swap sides (heads L to R) along with swapping the coolant transfer tubes & front coolant plugs instead. Not fun if you bolt them to the car before noticing this.
