I don't believe so. LT1's are reverse cooled, being that the coolant goes through the heads first. That being said, the coolant passages are different.

Why would you want to do that with a standard SBC when there's MUCH better aftermarket heads out there?

It isn't that hard. Any good machine shop could convert them. But as Fastbird93 said, why would you want to?
