thing that sucks about lt4 heads is you HAVE to buy the intake or
the ports won't match up
Yeah with the lt4 conversion kit it comes with everything you need inculing all gaskets. the thing that suck is you have to have the computer reprogramed.

Thats what I'm talking about, and its so much easier to put on a supercharger than pulling half the engine apart....but its cheaper to do the LT4 kit.

Hell with a LT4 kit.
Port your heads, put 1.6 rockers in with a cc306 cam
Then spray the hell out of it.
I sprayed my near stock LT1 with lord knows how many bottles and it never gave me a problem.

LT1 baaby yeaaa!! im lovin it too!


Being a previous GM owner before this car, before my nissan and ford, ill have to admit that GM stands for Giant Mistakes, mainly in terms of stupid crap falling apart like windows, electric items, etc etc. otherwise the main thing you need to worry about is an auto tranny. take care of it and it will take care of you. i like my car, and overall any GM i have ever had was always good and druable for me. enjoy the power man, and welcome from rice!!

Aww c'mon, My car wasn't riced... no Fast and furious decals or graphics, or fart muffler, or neon lights. My talon would have beat my LT1 with no problem, even being FWD.... it was a pretty quick car. But I'm glad to have torque again.

At 3500lbs.+, torque is your friend and the LT1 has that in spades.

in terms of ease..AND COST!

supercharger > lt4 conversion

but if i was to do it again, i woulda kept the spray, or i would have done my turbo setup.

I'm not positive what I'm gonna do yet, I need to fix misc. bullshit on the car first, Needs brakes bad, so i have to do that this weekend, and odds and ends crap like tune up and all that, and I need to pull my y-pipe and hollow out my cat ( i think its already loose in there) then i need to have my flowmaster put on for now till I get a full exhaust for it.. finish up doing all the "free mods" then i can start on doing stuff to the car. But I did get some wheels for the car, so I won't have the "salad shooters" on it anymore, I got a set of y2k c5 wheels for it (thanks ???), Just have to put the tires on them and I'll be set. I'll hopefully have some pictures of it up soon. I'm gonna have to get some pictures of it before Ivan blows the damn thing away....
