Difference between Corvette LT1 and F-body LT1? Someone asked me the other day was type of engine i had in my car. I told them it was an LT1 with aluminum heads, the same as a Corvette. I told them the main difference between the two were the exhaust manifolds, intake, and tuning but other than that they were the same. Then he said he used to have a Caprice with an LT1 and said "So they have the corvette engine in them too?" And i told him that the Caprices had cast iron heads and a few other differences. Was i right in saying all of this? I really don't know too much about them, i was just trying to describe the engine on a level they would understand.
