Guys, retooled it a bit.

Keep in mind for suggestions: Key words are BASIC and LT1! I don't want to make the list too complicated, and there's no need for drivetrain specs since the LT1 cars' drivetrain are very similar to the LS1 cars'.

Thanks for the notes, keep em comin...

 

all this time i thought that the lt1 f body cars had iron heads.

 

Wow great info...Thanks

 

nope... y/f-body lt1 heads are aluminum

 

Were and how could I get a hold of one? Is it better than my LT-1? How much would it set me back in $? Should I save and get one or just mod my LT-1?

 

If you've got $35k sitting around and are looking to make a show car then go ahead..

The LT-5 was a Lotus/GM collaboration motor. It's a 5.7L DOHC V-8, not really very modable since not many people make parts for it. They run around 35 grand as a full assembled crate motor.

So, the answer is, just mod your LT1

 

On the LT4 cam you should make a note that the listed lift is with 1.6 rockers, vs. 1.5 for the LT1. The LT4 cam has less lift than the LT1, but the specs as listed make it look like it has more.

Also the LT5 doesn't really belong there. It's not related to the LT1 and LT4.

 

I don't think there are any left in the crate, but you could get one for under $10k a few years ago.

Also there's plenty of modded LT5s out there. It is true that they tend to not be the same kind of DIY mods like we do with the LT1 cars, because they were expensive cars and the owners had money, so many of them have been modified by the big names like DRM or Lingenfelter.

 

1996 LT4 Corvette: 330bhp, 340lb-ft
1992 LT5 Corvette: 375bhp, 370lb-ft
93-95 LT5 Corvette: 405bhp, 385lb-ft

does anyone know the difference between the LT4 and the LT5 i didnt even know there was such a thing as the LT5 is there anything i can do to my LT4 to make it the LT5?? (93-95)

 

LT-5 is the ZR-1 Vette Motor

 

LT5 is a totally different motor from the LT1/LT4. An LT4 is just an LT1 with better cam, intake, heads (won't stray too far into it) but they are basically the same motor. The LT5 was a special edition motor for the ZR-1 Corvettes. DOHC 5.7L V8, thing revved high as hell and was very pretty. Go to google image search and check it out.
