Default '95 B-body LT-1 in a '94 F-body

I was wondering if there is any diffrance in the crank pully bolt or the spacer to the crank pully bolt, I know that the accessories bracket and crank pully is not the same, so is the crank bolt / bolt spacer differ ? The local dealer says that all LT-1's have the same crank bolt and spacer, but I have reason to think other wise.

Different hubs i believe. I have an F-body hub on my b-body car and it causes the belt to be off by about 3/8 an inch.

Oh, well i guess i was just throwing out words then, lol. I'm pretty sure the bolt and stuff is going to be the same though.

it is the part of the hub that bolts to the crank has a diffrent spacing for the diffrent bodies, one space for "Y" and "F" bodies and another for the "B" bodies. I made shure to use the crank pully from my old motor but now I am wondering "WTF" is going on.

From my experience. the only one that is different is the LT4 hub. All B & F LT1 are the same. If your hub is off by 3/8" then something is wrong.

The difference between the LT1 - LT4 hubs are very noticable, the snouts are different diameters.

Don't quote me on this but I have a F-body hub on my 94 Impala SS and there's no issues.

ok b/c i am building a lt1 out of a roadmaster and was just going to use the hub, not knowing it was different.

So Sapper you think the roadmaster and f-body hubs are the same? or atleast will work w/o problem?

I work on many of the 2 and never seen a difference except for an LT4 hub. But maybe some else will chime in if they had seen different.

B-body Hubs Are Longer. If You Go To Buy A New Keyed One There Are 3 Different Lengths For Lt1's. When I Bought My Impala Ss It Had A F-body Hub On It And The Belt Was Overhanging The Balancer.

all I know is that the "so called" B body motor that I bought I had to change the water pump and crank pully to get it to work in my F body. I had two buddys that were there when I realized it and they agreed that the pully is not the same.

well after reading this website: http://www.automotiverebuilder.com/ar/ar99928.htm i really don't think there is a difference between the f-body/b-body hub. i think the problem is that the correct key isn't being used. but what do i know
