You could, until recently, purchase the LT-4 upgrade package for your plain jane LT-1. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the kit included a new cam, heads, intake and supporting mods. The only thing it lacked was the Balanced and Blueprinted 4 bolt main block. For the money there were much better Heads and Camshaft packages available in the aftermarket that made more power.

Yes there were 100 LT4s like corp said. No you will never find one for $7,000 unless it's twisted around a tree.
Not really worth it anyway.. they put out an honest 330 fwhp, a regular LT1 will give you just about 305.

Re: Common 4th Gen Problems
I am not looking to get one i just wanted to know, I want a 96-97 Z28 under 80,000 Miles M6, And i don't want it in a ugly color, so it will be hard as hell to find what i want, has to be around 7,000 too maybe up to 10,000.... This is harder then i thought because i am worried about getting a peice of ****... I want a test drive i want to look under it, i mean this is almost not realistic so I Don't know when i will get this yet i just started saving. Thanks for the info Anything someone wants to add go ahead.

Re: Common 4th Gen Problems
There are quite a few LT4 pieces that were not included in the "LT4 conversion package". I serioulsy doubt anyone really wanted the cambered (positive-twist) piston rings:

Re: Common 4th Gen Problems
Ok i just saw a video of a camaro doing some donuts and the title of the vid is blowing the bottom end of an LT1.... There isn't a rev limiter on these stock? I wouldn't know it sounds like a stupid question but do they? what if they are M6 cars? Just wondering... the video is on this site. You do hear the car reving High...and in the end the exhaust shoots some flames or something and it ends... Thanks just wondering

So... If i had a stock Z28 that had the rev limiter and was in 1st and did a burnout letting it hit the highest revs it could, what does it hurt in the car? The engine? Just wondering thanks
Re: Common 4th Gen Problems
Yes in theory the factory set rev limiter should save you from wrecking your engine. It is still possible to ruin the motor without pinning the Tach though. If you dont want expensive repairs, dont pound on the car every time you get into it.

Most of the a4 cars will shift out of first on there own regaurdless, but i see your wanting a M6
My opinion for you is to find a car you like and go with it,
ive been in the f-body game for a while now and had a 94 to begin with, this time i chose a 93 over a newer style lt1, theres pro's and con's of any year,
i wouldnt worry about the year of the car and find one that you like.
So many harsh harsh words about the 93, i sence some jealousy
