LT-1 Heads
 

How do you install LT-1 heads on a bow tie block in SS Is welding required or is there a way to do it with a bypass hose? Thanks.

Lee, there are two plugs welded on the deck, oblong shaped. Then the pipe plugs on the front end of each head are drilled and tapped larger for water hoses. I can try to get you pictures of mine if you like.

Get the second picture too?

Re: LT-1 Heads
 

yes....those attach to the lower radiator hose? where do i get such a fitting?

Re: LT-1 Heads
 

Upper hose, which is on the driver's side. Lower hose, from the water pump, goes to the bottom of the passenger side of the radiator. I Tig welded mine together from a piece of 1 1/2" exhaust tubing, a piece of steel plate to cap off one end, and steel -10 AN fittings Tig welded to it. Those two -6 fittings on top, that are capped, are not needed.

Did mine like Ed did his,works fine.

Lee, Sheep Boy found some slick push button bleeders for the back of the cylinder heads to get the air out. He either told me where to find them, or just handed me a pair. A few years ago, and I forgot. I top mine off, turn the water pump on, and reach Bach there and push the button on each side until water comes out. Then top the radiator off again. Works really slick. I will try to find out where to get them. They are 1/8" pipe thread. I put them in the 1/4" pipe thread holes already there.

We have them at work,good idea. They are bleeders for roots type superchargers

Makes getting all the air out quicker.
