Here's how to tell for sure, pull the oilpan and look for 4 bolt mains, if yes then you're half way home, next oull the intake and look at the intake ports in the heads if they're tall and rectangular then you should be good to go. Also pull the valve covers and look fot LT4 cast into the heads.
You want to save the lt4 over an lt1 ... It's like saying.... Hey will an ls6 fit in my___, because I Wana keep my ls1 and get rid of the car.... Dumb dumb dumb ... Dumb dumb
Just look for the raised edge on the intake manifold where it meets the heads. GM put extra material there with the intent of opening the port on the manifold for the raised port on the head. As well as pulling the valve covers and looking for the casting numbers.
Chowderhead here brings up a good point.
GM made an EGR block off plate for the LT4 which was pretty thick and rounded. That would be the first place to look. If there is a block off plate and it's flat and thin then most likely it's aftermarket and should lead to further investigation.
