The 1975 L48 Corvette engine was the "base" engine and never was offered with aluminum heads or a 4-bolt main block from the factory. The L82, offered in 1975 had 4-bolt mains but still only had cast iron heads.
The GM F Body LT1 cars got the 2 bolt mains. Only the Corvette LT1 got the 4 bolt mains with aluminum heads.

YES!There won't be any gains from doing it, but it will fit. The only difference is the Corvette has aluminum heads, where as the Caprice has iron heads. Stock for stock the iron heads flow better. Unless the engine is blown or missing there is no reason to do this.Just a side note.....Vette Lt1s had 4 bolt mains and the F/B bodies had 2 bolt mains. Something to consider if you gonna build it
Yes, the mounting position is the same, but the actual mounts are different. Bolt the mounts from your 1975 corvette to your 1996 LT1 engine and it should go right in. The transmission should also bolt right up to your 1996 LT1 engine.
what is the bolt pattern for 1963 corvette
The manifolds mount to the heads, and are pretty much interchangeable throughout the life of that engine. There were two different bolt patterns used from the factory, and most heads are drilled with both. It's a pretty easy fix to add the missing hole and tap it if you run into that problem. Just remember that you must use gaskets if the heads are aluminum.
Most Chevy 350 4 bolt engines will bolt into a 1979 Corvette.
I believe the torque is figured on the bolt size, not the material. you are using steel bolts ,therefore the torque for an intake bolt on a sm. block is 20 ft. lbs.
5x120.7 mm
Yes the heads will, But the problem is that the vortec intake won't bolt up to the pre- 90 heads. DIFFERENT BOLT PATTERN.
sure.
The head bolt torque specifications for the 1986 Chevrolet Corvette is 200 pounds per square inch. The bolts should be torqued at 50 pound intervals.
