ok im new to the fourth gen world and am looking at a 94z with an lt1 and was wondering...are the lt's in the 4th gen camaros the same as the lt's in the older vettes? if not what do the vettes have that the camaros dont?

 

Only difference in the Vette LT1 is that the Vette LT1 has 4 bolt mains. Everything else is identical (exhaust not withstanding).

 

so the l4 lt is only a 2 bolt block? huh u learn something new everyday...thanks

 

Right, AND the cam was slightly more aggressive.

 

No, it was IDENTICAL for the same year (example 94 Vette & F-body had he same cam). Only year that the cam was different was 1992 obviously

 

No. The LT4 WAS a 4 bolt main block but so was EVERY LT1 block that came in a vette (92-96). The LT4 was only in the Vettes in 1996 and ONLY in Vettes with a manual tranny (autos still got the LT1 engine).

 

the vettes came with composite valve covers that are nice looking, expensive, and help keep roller rockers quiet. ok now im just nit picking, but metal has it right.

 

LT4's came in the 1997 30th Anny camaros Limited Ed

 

Only 100 SS Camaros and about 30 Firehawks. His post implied that he thought all (92-96) LTX Corvettes had LT4s.

 

it stated plainly that only 96 vettes has LT4s.

Pretty clear.

 

how can i tell if i have the vette or camaro LT1?

 

Tear down the motor and check the bottom end...


should be a casting number or somthing on the block that will let those who know that info tell you which one it is. I don't know that info unfortuantly.

 

I didnt' think all the vettes had composite valve covers, I thought just the LT4s did?

 

all LT vettes had composite valve covers.

easiest way to tell if your a vette or fbody LT is the number of knock sensors. vettes have two while Fbodies have one knock sensor. now this assumes you have aluminum heads as well. if your heads are cast iron and you have two knock sensors, your engine is out of a Bbody ie impala and caprice.

 

Because, smart *** , he was IMPLYING, that ALL repeat ALL LTX (that means LT1/LT4 series engines) Vettes had LT4s in them.

My first post

Implying he thought all Vette years had LT4s

I know these engines backward and forward *** clown and don't appreciate your stupid *** comment

 

eehhmm you forgot one, Roadmaster!

 

I believe that the casting number on the block is the same between the 2 and 4 bolt mains, using this as a reference.

 

oops my bad i meant to say 4th gen i donno why i said l4 sorry i didnt mean to start fights everyone just chill lol
why cant we be friends?, why cant we be friends?.....lol
but thanx for the info guys you are all a big help

. You and i may have been referring to diffent parts of the same post or different posts. Don't get so bent out of shape over it fella. You do notice the post i quoted was YOUR's don't you? and frankly... im not quite sure why i did. you agreed that it was in the Anniversy Camaros and a few firehawks (i didnt know that thou)... musta been the whiskey that night.

 

And my shortness with the post is probably due to my lack of rest from work this week. Sorry
