I think the reason that most won't work on them anymore is the LS series motors are much easier to work on, esp when it comes to cam swaps.

so what cam you have in there now? do you have any track times or dyno numbers? still havent got my car out to the track yet....

BTW Spdracr: If that is the ORIGINAL LT4 in your Corvette (which apparently any 96 with a manual got), then go buy a junkyard LT1 and have it built up and put that LT4 in storage. Once you start modding, the LT1 and LT4 are no different except for the heads. I'd rather get some stock LT1 heads ported or some aftermarket heads

Just my $.02 though!

Custom grind from Lloyd Elliot - 23* - 23*ish with beefier springs and around .580 lift on a 108 LSA. Chopps real good and did exactly what Lloyd said it would. Love it

hey i called ard and talked to jay he said they are still working on lt1's. jay enjoys working on lt1's, as a matter of fact he used to own one. i dont know if you are still looking for a place or if you already had the work done but jay said to give him a call if you still need somethin, my name is daniel btw.
