Lt1/lt4 In 92 Camaro? Has anyone here ever installed a Ltx engine into a third gen f-body? I'm about to tackle the job and just wanted any advice from experienced installers. I'm about to drop in an LT1 with an LT4 package and a t56- 6speed into the car. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah i have seen a couple of pics that show the modification on it. I have also seen on youtube a car that has an lt1 with a serpentine setup off of a third gen camaro. I was hoping i could use my old serpentine setup on it. the heads and block have the provisions for it. I'm just not sure how i;m gonna do the crankshaft pulley or balancer. It looks pretty nice. I'm gonna look more into trying that setup. Thanks.

Seams like there is a water pump issue that would need to be addressed if going with the third gen setup. It has been a long time since I have thought about this. I will also look into it some more. This can be done.

What's wrong with the LT1 setup. I have it in mine and it's fine. Now granted I don't have A/C, but even so I think you'd just creating more hassle for yourself trying to use a different belt setup.

Put a small dent in the engine cradel in front of the spring perch, and the stock accessory drive with the a/c intact will work fine. why reinvent the wheel. Mine has been that way for 7 years.

Most of my cars that I've owned have not had a/c due to the fact that it looked too ugly and crowded in the engine bay. I want to be able to cruise this car and blow some cold air every once in a while. Sometimes I meet a hot chick and they know nothing about cars and when they've gotten in my car they think it's crappy cause I don't have a/c. These chicks are too hot and as much as I'd love to have them sweating in my car, some of them just wont go for it. Is that wrong? Should i keep the a/c and lose the girls?

it's easy to do. just heat the area red hot with a torch, then mashage it with a bfh. no biggie. or you could cut the area out and tig a small 1/2 section of pipe in the area. either way it isn't that big of a deal

I Think I Found My Answer. I'm Very Comfortable Modifying A Chassis So It Wont Be Hard For Me And I Also Have A Torch And A Welder So I'm Gonna Tackle That Job Hopefully Tomorrow After Work. Thanks For The Advise. And It's True, "i'd Rather Have Cool Girls Than No Girls."
