Well tonight we started the cam swap and we took off the valve covers it said 1.6. If im not mistaken I thought LT1's came with 1.5's and my car is internally bone stock.

 

sounds like someone upgraded because they come with 1.5s, not sure if there were rocker options from SLP options from the factory. Are you the original owner? Either way that's cool.

 

Stock on an LT1 is 1.5 STAMPED LT4s came with 1.6 rollers though.

 

No I got the car about a year ago. The car is SUPPOSED to be a bone stock internals with a"chip and flowmasters." The car didnt have flowmasters. I still dont know if it has a chip. Anyway the rockers were silver aluminum and had GM stamped on them and under that was 1.6. I dunno whats going on. Im sure its not an LT4 though.

 

Sounds like some one may have returned it to stock but did not have the stock rocker any more. What do the retainers look like? Are they a bright silver? If so you may have lucked out

 

by lucked out do you mean its a LT4 or it has Rockers?

 

if it has bright Silver valve spring retainers some one installed a hot cam kit at one time and then pulled the cam out and sold it

 

i might of been cammed up be 4 if it has a chip rocker arms valve springs

 

are they rollers or stamped?

 

Sorry im ignorant lol umm please explain what you mean.

 

Where the rocker meets the spring, does it have a roller or is it just an extension of metal, a solid piece.

 

He said, silver aluminum earlier. So they are rollers. I wonder if it still has the hotcam or other aftermarket cam in it.

No what I think happened is that Im the 3rd owner. The guy that had it before me dindt know anything about he just wanted a weekend car. But I think the original owner had the car camming with springs, lifters, rocker rollers and the cam, then when he went to sell it he took out the cam so it wouldnt kill the value. Would that make sense to yall?

 

eh eh?

 

That sounds a lot more like it. Put the car on a dyno and take it to the track and find out.

 

When I first got it and couldnt drive and also before the catback I ran a 13.9

 

we also found out it has a forged crank, and probably forged rods and pistons. WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

 

somebody spent $ You wound up with goodies. Re cam it and go from there depending on what your overall plans for the car are.

DAMN!!! my guess is he might have gotten a true LT4 bottom end or like someone else said you got ahold of some goodies. Did you run #'s on the crank or what. If the crank is out, do the "ping test". Stand the crank up on end and tap a throw with a wrench, if it pings and rings loudly it's forged steel, if it pings and dies out quickly, it's cast.
