Engine rebuild
 
Guys Hello ,

Really I've been really busy rebuilding my vette :) . In my 75 I have GM 350 Goodwrench 4 bolt engine I read that I can use cylinder heads from corvette 96 to get a better performance is that true if not guys what do you recommend to get the most from this engine :)

regards

Does your crate motor have intake manifold bolts that are vertical or do they go in perpendicular to the head? I think when the small blocks went to TPI, the bolts went to vertical so you'd need to check the '96 heads.

i may be wrong but i thought couldnt cross the parts from different generation of engines...meaning anything 86 and newer wouldnt worn on anything 85 and older...but i might be wrong

Most of those 90's Corvettes came with the aluminum heads, which should be just like Gen 0 (old) small blocks, I know the LT1s were reverse flow, but that shouldn't affect the heads. I say should because you haven't listed casting numbers or got pics, which should help.
