LT1 swap question
all i have left from that stuff is the stock block with a cam and a holley 670cfm carb. sold everything else already. had to pay bills and stuff. also bought the motor too
That has to be worth something...it being a crossfire block and all. Maybe someone wants that specific block and had a spun main or whatever. I'm sure it could pull in enough to hopefully finish up what you need to to get yours running again.
got another question.
i have a set of 1.6 rockers that i had on my other motor and would love to eventually run these on the lt1. would i have to change the valve springs in order to run the rockers?

why not sell the LT1 and go with a GEN 1 SBC? Crossfire accessories should work since its a GEN 1. IMO the hassles of converting to LT1 is not worth it. Now if you just have the need to do a generation conversion go to GEN 3.
JMHO and I have a LT1 vette/LT1 Impala, and a new G8GT in the stable so I'm not a LT1 hater just a pragmatic.
In summary if it were my 84 and I were short on $$$$ I'd sell the LT1 and go with a SBC install.
Good luck

well i just tried to fit it in but it looks like it might not work or be very very close to the frame. might have to notch the frame a little.

i think its funny how like almost all F-body owners say that there car is corvette powered. i guess my corvette is f-body powered
