You are correct there in the sense that it is not the one found on F-bodies and most likely correct period, but it is considered an LT1 on the cop sites I went to, and as to what I found out about the heads, they outflow the aluminum ones by 20 cfm. the specs are 260hp, and 333 ft. lbs. and im not running it with that cam and stuff, like I said its getting rebuilt the way I want it to. sent out to the machine shop down here, and slowly builtthe way I want it, and will probably take a year or so, the only thing im deciding on is if I should keep the current heads, or buy aluminum. I want an LT4 for it and the hotcam kit that summit sells, those are m two biggy's on my list. but even if I dont get it, an LT1 is on my list to go in my car, its just that heres an engine wihtt he wiring harness and engine together. ill get a trans later, i dont watn the trans in this, as Tim mention, think about them idle then WOT, im sure those trans took a beating. I do thank you all for your input, it has helped me see a few things so far. kep em coming guys
