she is stationed in some southern part of europe heading for iraq so the best thing i could do is write her a letter saying hey what year camaro is that? and hope it gets back? but yea its an LT1. im gona sell my mustang and buy a 383 for it.

 

you dont know the difference between an LS1 and a LT1, and you dont know the year of your own car but now youve just decided that your going to go ahead and just dump a 383 in it? iam so lost right now its not even funny. if u dont mind me asking how old are u?

 

Wow.... just wow. How did you find out it's and LT1?

 

not to be a dick but if you couldn't tell the difference between an ls1 and a lt1 you have no business building a stroker motor for that car

 

As soon as I saw this thread one thought came to mind...flamebait from a troll. Don't fall for it guys.

 

I try to give everyone the bennifit of the doubt. Takes nothing to answer a simple question.

 

because i looked at the vin and i saw the pictures posted on the first page and was able to tell the difference.

 

you know you could of answered your own question in 30 seconds with google...

how anyone can like an ls1 but have no knowledge of one or even know what one looks like is beyond me.

 

are u saying you were born with the knowledge of knowing the difference between LT1s and LS1s? come on everybody on this forum had to read or learn about LT1s, LS1s, what years they came in etc etc during some point of thier life.


this kid could have a 9 sec mustang in his town but never seen a fbody in his small town. now he has a camaro for free and has no idea what kind it is.

 

im 16 years old this is my second car. i got the camaro for free and i bought a 1986 mustang 5.0 for 1 grand. This is the first camaro anyone in my family has had any just trying to know what engine it is so i can do some research for a more stout set up for it.



**edit 17 years old. just turned it about a week and a half ago and it still doesnt register in my head yet.

 

Either way if your sister gave you a Z28 your LUCKY!!

 

alright, i forgive u then, if i were u i would leave it bone stock maybe an exhaust to make it sound better but being 16 i dont think u need a 383, no offense but i think u need to get some driving in under your belt before u go trying to make 400hp, i would drive it for awhile then maybe after u get a fell for some power and u can control what the cars going to do when you start pushing its limits cause we all do it, then go and do some performance mods when u can handle power llike that, im not trying to be mean and saying u cant drive or anything cause i dont know u, but i dont want u to put a bunch of money intop a 383 and not be able to control the power and rap it around a tree. just my .02 cents.

 

The vin number is what gave the insurance company the info that's it's a '95 Z28. Your dad was probably mis-informed that it was a '98.

Tips to understanding your vehicles serial (VIN) number...

They are as follows:

1st character- Identifies the country in which the vehicle was manufactured. For example: U.S.A.(1or4), Canada(2)

2nd character- Identifies the manufacturer. For example; Chevrolet(1), General Motors(G), Pontiac(2or5).

3rd character- Identifies vehicle type or manufacturing division.

4th to 8th characters- Identifies vehicle features such as body style, engine type, model, series, etc.

9th character- Identifies VIN accuracy as check digit.

10th character- Identifies the model year. For example: 1993(P), 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T), 1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y)------2001(1), 2002(2)

11th character- Identifies the assembly plant for the vehicle.

12th to 17th characters- Identifies the sequence of the vehicle for production as it rolled of the manufacturers assembly line.

 

gets march's issue of chey high performance. thats where you should start not a stroker. the artical is For A Few Ponies More. 218wrhp to 268.9rwhp. torque went to 254rwtq to 322.9rwtq. and you wont break the bank.

 

my bank is fine i have a small online business that i have been running for about 8 months and the money has been building up for a while cause i mostly just spend my money on gas and the other minor things that i need so i got quit a bit saved up.

 

but yea i guess ill take small steps first before i jump into the big guns. thanks for the info everyone.

 

Not trying to be a dick or nothing...but everyone here has overlooked the simplest way. Look on the freaking drivers side door. The sticker has the mfg. date. For christ sake the date is printed ON THE CAR. Screw the headlights, screw the vin, screw the taillights. Go and look at the sticker that says the date on it.

Seriously,there has been like 30 something posts and no one has suggested that yet?? That would of been exactly where I would of started.

 

Sell both of your cars and buy a real LS1 car, but not for a year and not until you learn a LOT more about what you will be doing.

$.02

 

I would sell both cars and buy a 98 LS1 camaro
Optispark on LT1 is enough reason for me to sell.
