If you are talking about the '69-'71 LT1, they didn't have aluminum heads, they were all cast iron.

Pat,
To the best of my knowledge, the "old" style small blocks never came with aluminum heads until the 86 or so Vettes. There was an aluminum bow-tie head available over the counter as early as 1980, but never on a production vehicle.

I suspect you're looking for a set of L98 Corvette heads. The Corvette had aluminum, the Camaro had iron. Pretty good heads but might be hard to find. Started in 87 I think, up through the LT1 in 92 in the Vette. The LT1 heads won't work on the earlier blocks.
