Uhhh... I thought all LT1's were 5.7. What is this 4.3 LT1 you speak of?

I think he means the 4.8L that was used in some caprices with the lt1 intake etc

a 4.3 is a v6

A 4.3 is basically a 350 w/ 2 cylinders chopped off...but I don't see how it could be mistaken for an LT1 though.:confused:

No, he's right, there was a 4.3L V8 that I believe was used in 9C1s.

It was the L99 I believe. 4.3l v8, it was the base motor for the caprice during the 94-96 model years, with the LT1 being the optional motor if I am correct. They look almost identical to LT1's...

They look exactly identical from the outside. The cylinders are just smaller.
