Im planning to rebuild my COrvette LT1 engine and searching on the e bay for gasket and rering kits.
I found the following gasket kit, but they say "Non Corvette" .

Just before the X mass. Then freesed the registration due to tax issues, Ill work on the car till next year. 1996 LT1 2DR coupe, metallic purple (one out of 320 painted that colour). Now Im gathering parts, I ll rebuıld the engine and transmission, re check all electric harnesses, ECM will be reprogrammed...etc.

I think most LT1 blocks were two bolt mains, with exception of the LT4 blocks and the vette LT1, and I think GM replacement LT1s were 4 bolt.
Production blocks for F/B/D cars had two-bolt mains.
The B/D cars had iron heads with different head gasket thicknesses. F-cars had a slightly thicker head gasket. Not sure on the vette(Y) car gasket thickness, but if it is different then I guess that would explain why your vendor says non-vette???

Really a good point. I ll search the thicknesses.
