LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

I will be rebuilding my engine soon and when looking to see what's out there, I found this conversion on Summit. I need your opinions on if it's worth it or not.

Link to Search Page.

Yeah some time searching will deffinately bring up a lot of information. Popular topic. (Take that initial response constructively)

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

it says that your engine will get 425+ hp so if it does I would say it would be worth the $2,300.

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

i will sum up the information you will find on the LT4 conversion. Yes it has been asked and answered alot of times but hear it is. You can get much more bang for your buck by going with a Lloyd Elliot head/cam package and it will cost you alot less. This proven 425 HP is rated at the flywheel unlike the other packages you will look at. The proven hp was done by tests done by More performance in 97-98 or something like that, and the test were done on an engine dyno. With the kit, there was a bigger TB, injectors..etc...also the ECM used was a aftermarket one, and there were no accessories run on the engine. Thus the "Proven" hp stated was a gross HP, not SAE...also it would take all the bolt ons to achieve this power stated..is it worth it...NO not to me. I think the others have yelled at you enough....just remember the "Search" feature is your friend here.

Hell yeah it would! I wonder if thats really how much it gives you, and if thats horsepower to the wheels? I want to buy that now.

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

Naw man, thats more like 650 hoss to the rear wheel, get it, spend the 2500 yhoull love it, do it, do it, no better mod evaaar.

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

that power is to the crank, with headers full exhaust and a 3,000$ Ecu that they forgot to mention.... so you hp#'s to the wheels can reange from 320-370 u usually depending on your setup

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

IMO......No, more power can be had for alot less. The AI and Le setups are considerably cheaper and will make considerably more power. But to each his own...

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

To that $2300 you can add about $1k or more for all the supporting mods/bolt ons you will need to acheive that figure.

There are much better head/cam setups out there for less money.

That 425 flywheel hp is only about 360 or so rwhp.

Thanks guys and I will use search engine from now on B4 posting.

And to you, onlyone07, if it's been asked so many times don't read the thread and don't respond. It's that simple. Relax, I think you were so flustered that you mispelled 'eleventy'.

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

No, I spelled it like that for a reason. Eleventy billion.

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

I think he means that "Eleventy" is not a word. Eleventh is. :shrug:

However, JRR Tolkien did use the word in the Lord of the Rings --(From the roomate :D )

Re: LT1 To LT4, worth it?
 

I believe he was being a "smartass" by saying eleventy Billion times...as In "holy ****, in the last week this had been asked 47 times...and it gets super anoying watching it asked over, and over." Plus I think he likes to make up words....I know I do. lol
