LT1 swap questions
I was thinking of swapping LT1 into my 92 Z28 the car currently got TPI 350 and I hate it,my brother got a B body LT1 carburetor engine and I was like why I dont swap that engine in my Camaro? I searched for pistons for Lt1s and I found forged and hyper. from Speed pro I got a set of brand new pistons .030 but its for old chevy engines and I dont know if they will fit LT1s,do I need a custom engine mounts?what are the things that I need to swap LT1 in my 3rd gen?I will run it carburetor so bye bye wiring and ECM what is the stock compression ratio for LT1s? I read here that I need D ports headers for them thats not a problem I need to know what I need to do the swap from A to Z and can I use my 700R4? I read alot of topics here and they are useful

Re: LT1 swap questions
It will run with the carb but you will have lost one of the best parts of the
LT1. As for the pistons IIRC the LT1 uses a light weight piston. You could use a Gen-I piston but you will be better off with the LT1 version. No special mounts needed the ones you have will work. The CR is 10.5-1 IIRC. And did you read this also?https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...questions.html
