Anyone ever read or have anything to say about these...

How to Rebuild Small-Block Chevy Lt-1/Lt-4 Engines by Mike Mavrigian

Corvette Fuel Injection & Electronic Engine Control: 1982 through 2001 by Charles O. Probst (same engines as the f-bodys so...)

Chilton's General Motors: Camaro/Firebird 1993-98 Repair Manual (It says 93-98 through the entire thing which is a huge typo, just wondering if there are anymore since there isnt much else to say about this)

 

I have it. Good reading.

 

Is it basic info on the lt1 and lt4 or is it how to actually rebuild them or what I was sort of confused by the review it had. What about the others?

 

The Corvette FI manual is an excellent source of data on how the LT1 works (computer-wise) and how it compares to the L98, LS1 and LT5. It can be a little problematic, as the years get newer, since the Corvettes got a lot of items like active supension and traction control that interface with the PCM - things you don't see on the F-Body. But is you ignore that part, it is an EXCELLENT tutorial on comtemporay EFI... and in particular the LT1. There are a few errors in it however, relating the long term fuel corrections, as I recall, but nothing really serious.

I also have the 93-98 Chilton's, and it does have some info on the 98 LS1, but not much. I think they may have realized the error of their ways, because the newest versions are 93-97 only. I like Chilton's. The DTC code list is very accurate, and the wiring diagrams are very good. Just enough info to help you over the hump on the basic maintenance stuff, and parts replacement.

A couple of others that I like:

"High Performance Automotive Fuels & Fluids", Jeff Hartman, ISBN 0-7603-0054-2

"Chevrolet Fuel Injection", Ben Watson, ISBN 0-7603-0422-X (A little heavy on 3rd Gens' and light on LT1's, but a good reference).

Howell Engine Deveolpments, "Service Manual for Corvette, Firebird, Camaro LT1 and TPI", available direct from Howell. The LT1 stuff is only the 93 speed density system, but it has all the GM diagnostic charts for many DTC codes.

"Nitrous Oxide Injection Systems.....", Joe Pettitt, ISBN 1-884089-22=4. (Definitely biased toward NOS, but still an excellent reference.).

 

Thanks, if you dont mind can you share what the missinformation in the corvette FI book is specifically so i know when I run across it? I have a 94 so would you recomend the Chiltons or the Howell? Thansk again!
