just a question

aren't the original LT4 motors used in corvettes DOHC setups?

if yes, why do they call the "LT4 heads/cam" package LT4?

maybe im mistaking it for the LT5?

 

LT4 is a pushrod motor. You are confusing it with the LT5.

 

The ZR-1 Corvette's built between 1990 and 1995 had the LT-5 DOHC engines.
The LT-4 was offered in a special addition Corvette (Grand Sport) in 1996. Most had the fender hash marks (two stripes) on the drivers side front fender.

 

i knew it! im such an idiot ahah

is there any chance (in hell) that an LT5 would fit in a 4th gen?

 

Almost anything is possible. These are very tall motors so you will have trouble with hood and firewall clearence (It wont fit under the windshield very well).

 

i sure as hell dont have the coin to do it...but is someone ever did, that would be one bad a$$ combo

 

I believe the LT-5 motors were 400 HP; there are much easier ways to get 400 HP out of the LT1 motor.

 

Well actually the LT4 came in:

All 1996 6-speed vettes
Grand Sport Vettes from 1996
the 107 special 30th SS cars from 1997 (100 USA and 7 Canadian)

 

There is a guy here in my town who has an older Studebaker with a corvette drivetrain and a LT1. Well one day when I was talking to him I noticed an engine sitting in the corner of his garage with a cover over it. Low and behold it was an original LT5 that he said only had 40,000 miles on it. He plans on putting it in another studebaker.

Lucky dog, I offered to buy it from him but he just smirked and said I wouldn't have enough money to get that from him.
