Re: lt4 intake

no it will not work. lt4 heads and intake use a taller port, which would exceed the height of the lt1 head if you tried to put an lt4 intake on it.

Re: lt4 intake

As you have a '94, there is a good chance you have an intake with a crisp, true rectangular shape at the port entrance. As such, from GM, this has caused a mismatch with the smaller head port opening. The LT4 intake has SMALLER irregular shaped port openings, similar to that of your head port openings. That being the case, a swap to the LT4 intake, (as well as to a late LT1 intake) will eliminate the head port to intake manifold port (larger into smaller) mismatch. Other than correcting the mismatch by going with the SMALLER port LT4 manifold, (unmodified/unported) the swap will result in no advantage, power wise.

Re: lt4 intake

Besides all that, it won't even bolt on without some machining for clearance because of extra meat at the end of the runners where it meets the head.
