Re: LS1 Heads

The heads from the engines, and all other coponets for that matter are not compattible, at all. Instead of listing all of the reasons why, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The most obvious difference just looking at teh heads shoudl be the equal port spacing of the LS1 heads compared to the LT1 castings where the inner 2 exhaust ports are close together. The LS1 engine design is totally different.
