engine block differences

Can I use a sbc block with my lt1 heads and parts and if not what are the differences? I have an electric water pump so i only need to drive the optispark.Can anyone tell me what i would need to do or if it is even possible.
thanks

The water pump passages and bolt pattern are totally different than the SBC as well. IMO, trying to mix the two is an exercise in seeing how fast you can empty your wallet (to no real advantage).
