Question L-98 stroker kit, can I use it on an LT!?

Hello everyone, I am seriously toying with the idea of selling my Iroc and purchasing an LT1 6spd camaro. Since I have not yet installed my stroker kit into my '88L-98(vette), would it be possible to use it on an LT1 engine? The stroker kit consists of a :eagle cast crank, rods, bearings, KB hyperkeunetic(mispelled)pistons, LT4 hot cam, compcams springs(#986-16), 1.6 pro-magnum roller rockers, fluiddamper balancer,
any info would be great!!!

The Crank/Rods/Pistons should fit, its the same 1-piece rear main seal on the block. The balancer is not interchangable (I can't remember what is different). I belive there is a pin in the end of the LT4 cam that needs to be relocated depending on is use in an LT1 or traditional SBC.

The 95+ FBodies use a longer dowel pin, which you can buy fairly inexpensinvely. But the hole in the end of the cam is a different size in the early vs late LT1 also, and would have to be precision drilled or just buy a new cam.

If you go 93-94 FBod though the short dowel should work, as far as the hole for the Optispark though I dont know if the L98 Hotcam would be the same or what.

You can get the cam itself for about $169
