450ci LT1 Small blocks
450ci LT1 Small blocks
Has anyone seen the new Hotrod mag out. Dart is now making big Cubic inch small blocks. What will they fit. Heres a short list of WAYS YOU CAN USE THE BLOCK.
Sleeper
dumb down the look by grinding down the dart logo off the block, adding stock valve covers, and fogging everything basic orange or GM Blue. A NEAR STOCK IDLE makes it believable as a smog 350.
Late Model F-Car
Wether you've got a third Gen or an LT1-powered FOURTH GENERATION CAMARO OR FIREBIRD, you may want the huge power without the lumpy idle of a stout 383. OUR 450ci small block could hide under a TPI intake, pose as a 305, and run like a rat.
This came right from Hotrod magazine. From my understanding you can take this block, and add the internals or buy it ready to go. any Bore or stroke seems to be possible anywhere from a 350 Small block to a 450 small block.
A 427 LT1 would be VERY NICE
Let me know what you guys think about it.

It's still a Gen1 block... A Gen2 LT1 can't use it. It would be obvious to anyone familiar with an LT1 that the distrubutor is in the wrong place and the water pump is the wrong kind

You would also have to be crazy to put TPI on a motor like that. Of course, they also put a fake Moon tank on the front of a Cavalier.

But that doesn't exactly look or perform like stock, heh.A TPI motor with the Miniram on it will outdo an LT1.
