i was wondering if a steering rack out of an ls1 would fit in an lt1 car, the reason i want to know is sense they have a shorter steering ratio plus i will be buying a new one soon since mine is the factory one and the new one will be polished :D was just hoping to make the car nicer at the same time. ;)

As far as I know they are the same. But the shorter steering ratio is not determined by the fact it is an LS1, I believe all LT1's and LS1's have the FE2 suspension package which includes the more aggressive steering ration (2.25 turns from stop to stop) and the Firebird/Camaro V6 came with the F41 options which is 3 turns. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

If I remember right, they're not the same. I think the steering box is closer to the frame rail on the LS1 version.

ya i know that they are different go drive an ls1 and lt1 car back to back and the steering is a lot tighter on an ls1 i was just curious if the bolt holes line up. i know it can be modified to work but it would be nice it just fit right in.
