Difference Between SBC & LT1
Difference Between SBC & LT1 I am not having any luck whatsoever trying to search and find out the difference between the rotating assemblies of an older 1 piece rotating assembly and one for LT1?
What is the difference?
Can we use whole rotating assembly's from older SBC in our LT1 blocks, Like a 383 or 355?

Well I mean I got to reading the specs like rod length and actual crank throw and it all measures out to be the same. Only thing I have found different is LT1 has shorter skirt on the piston than an older SBC.
Thought rod and wrist pin location may be different between the 2 generations.
Anyone else have any knowledge on this because I'd really hate to buy a kit and then not be able to use it.

Verdad Gallardo Yeah I mean the only other difference I have found is the reverse coolant passages, but I mean something can't be right if you were to take a rotating assembly from a small block and place in our LT Blocks, or else it would be done by people all the time.
Let me be perfectly clear: IT IS THE SAME. BUY AN SBC ROTATING ASSEMBLY. IT WILL WORK. I PROMISE.

And search where, in the catalog, you see specific kits/parts for the LT1; if
you find LT1-specific parts, please point to it. (Yes, there are a couple of
exceptions mentioned, such as, "not for LT1").
