GM's with LT1 questions... I just recently discovered that Cadillac Fleetwoods in 94-96 had LT1's and were rwd (I always thought the early 90's were fwd northstars).
Are there any other cars that LT or LS series engines came in stock- other than the Camaros, T/A's, Corvettes, or trucks (unless one happened to come in a compact truck)
*EDIT* I just did a little research (thanks wikipedia) and learned what other vehicle got LT1's--though still not sure which were rwd.
1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster (LT1 only)
1994-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood (LT1 only)
1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice (LT1 or L99)
1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice Police Package (LT1 or L99)
1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS (LT1 only)
However, it leads me to a new question:
Since the mentioned cars got LT's with iron heads, is it completely possible to R&R with the heads and/or intake manifold from a T/A, Z28, or Corvette? Also, do any of those cars come with posi?
Thanks guys!

You can pretty much change anything around on the LT1's. Intakes are the same, except for the 1993, it it doesn't have the Fuel Rail cross-over. You can put a complete LT4 setup in a Caprice or a Caddy, depends on how much you want to spend..

What are you looking too accomplish?
The iron heads flow more than MOST of the aluminums and only the best aluminums manage to equal the iron heads flow.
The f-body cam is pretty si milar and if anything will just move the powerband up slightly, a BAD thing with a 4600+lbs whale of a car.
Is the cars are the same year it is very likely the intake are already identical.
The power rating differences between these vehicles can be more greatly attributed to the grandpa quiet intake tract and exhaust the b/d-bodies got and their 87 octane programming.
I know that hurts the feelings of those kids who want so very badly to believe the aluminum heads and f-body cam are wonderful but sometimes the truth hurts.
