Ls1 cam into lt1?
TECHNICALLY...... the new Gen 5 motor is called the LT1, so I guess that a LS1 cam can fit in a LT1. Probably won't be out for a year and a half, though. And boy should it run!

thanks guys, it was an honest dumb question as I've never seen an lt1 cam or block nor have any ever heard of a website called google in which i could have easily found this answer without embarrassing myself.
to the guys who felt the need to be ******** with their answers please continue commenting on my threads again Thanks

^at least hes honest and likes humor.
What are you talking about? Most of the people on here were born knowing the "ins and outs" of these engines, and to waste their time with questions like this is almost an insult!!
...When in reality, I would say that a large percentage of posters on this board know nothing other than what they have read on here and are just regurgitating. Seriously guys, how would you have felt when you were younger and didn't know something, and went to ask someone who you thought did know, and they berated you? I know damn well that you guys weren't born knowing this stuff, and you had to learn it from somewhere. Most people, myself included, learned a lot of what they now know from this very site. The people that get upset and insult someone else for not knowing something aren't doing anything but holding this community back.
Or the SAE paper GM published when the LS1 first went into production...$9.95 from the SAE website.
Much better info than you'll find here in many cases, including the OP's question.
Actually, large volumes of inane questions are doing a much better job of that...

like earlier, I was looking for tuning specifics on an LS7 MAF and had to sift thru stupid amounts of threads asking "will an LS7 MAF work on my bolt on Z28?" How much power will I gain by going to an LS7 MAF on my stock LS1..."
I never found my answer.
and honestly, I think GM can do better with that moniker considering this will have been the 3rd engine in the small block family with the LT1 RPO code...
I do NOT consider any LS engine a SMALL BLOCK.
The original small block released in 1955 wasn't even called a small block until there was a big block in 1958.
The LS engines have the same bore spacing and some can use the same lifters. Otherwise, there is NOTHING similar between them to call a LS engine a "small block"
I'm also peeved they again used the "LT1" moniker. The upcoming gen5 engines should have a new designation suck as "DI" or something to indicate it's direct injected.
An not re-use engine names such as LT1, LS6, LS3, LS5, etc.
OK, rant over.....

it's still a small block...period. when the ls was first introduced, they were still producing the big block, so there had to be some way to differentiate the two.
all LS engines can use the same lifters as a gen 1-2 small block. if you could get a flat tappet cam ground for an LS, it would use the same lifters as well. also, rod bearings are the same as well.
When the LS series engines were introduced, the original small block was still being produced. They were called "the LS engine" to differentiate it from the small block.
Imagine going to a parts store and saying "2000 5.7 small block". Which one?

and they were called "the small block LS series" to be exact.
regardless of what you, me or anyone else calls it, GM calls it and always has "a small block" so thats what it is.
Yep, the main stay of the average Joe's tool box and shop equipment has gone to the Chi-coms. Might as well buy Habour Freight's tools. BTW, are Cobalt from Lowes the same deal as Craftman?
