Can I get an LT1 into my 91 TBI? Does the TBI also use reverse cooling? Or am I better off getting the LS1. LT1's are much cheaper to modify than LS1's. Just take a look at the price of LS1 cams..$500.

They're good stock, but there are far better heads out there to use in a built engine, IMO.

The reason why you cannot port them is 'cause GM said "Why sell a head that needs to be ported....lets do it for them". Ok, maybe then did not say that, but that IS the basic principle. All I need to do is do some spring work and change the cam and I will have a bonified 385 HP mill with IRON heads. Heavy Bastages
I thought you had a website for your car......I think I have seen it but would love to see your LT1 application again!!
