lets see engine bay pics of LT1, LT4, and LT5s. also engine bay pics of LS1s and LS6s. i would like to see how they fit and look in a thired gen. i know people have them, so lets see them.

 

I don't think you'll see many LT5s, lol... they are worth more than most of the cars here.

Do a search on "FLYNLOW92RS" I think is his name... he just recently had an LS1 installed in his Camaro.

 

i just posted LT5 so people didn't say "you forgot about the LT5." but i whant to see some pics of 4th gen motors in 3rd gens.

 

Well there is at least one LT5 3rdgen

 

Gross paint and wheels though

Also check out thirdgen resources site for an LS1 swap

 

whats a LT5 exactly? dont think ive heard of it

 

Came on the performance package for the 90-93 vettes I think. I think I have the years wrong but it was for the top package for the vettes.

 

The Greatest Engine ever!! :hail: :hail: LT5

Link to another thread with the specs https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=215113

 

Pretty sure it was offered up until 95. The '96 C4/GS got the LT4.

It's a dual overhead cam engine designed by Chevrolet and I "think" Lotus. Each cylinder has 2 runners. The first is only used for low RPM's so it has tons of torque, but then the secondary runners opem during WOT. It's a BMF

I recently read an article where the ZR1/LT5 spanked the ZO6 in the quarter. the ZO6 is a better car, and the LS6 is by far a "better" engine, but the LT5 had some *****!!! I think in the end it was just toooo expensive, and hard to work on.

 

The LS1 is in there, but i haven't picked it up yet.....

No picutres of it in the car yet, should have some in 2 weeks..........

 

those wheels on the LT5 ROC look like Firehawk wheels, are they?

 

i just noticed that they gayed out the interior too... WTF

 

The camaro with the LT5 looks like a PPG showcar. I would see them all the time when I would go to the Indy Car races here in Nazareth. That would explain the paint job, all of their showcars were painted up like clown cars. And yes, they sure are the Firehawk(Ronal R15)wheels on it painted flo yellow. It makes me cry to see them like that.

 

ah it was in the ZR1 ok..that ZR1 was amazing and still can beat new corvettes, but ya thx for the info im gonna look into it more and learn about it

 

My engine,

 

Here you go!

Zepher, is that a LT-4? are you going to lower the front of your car?

 

were there any problems with the LS-1 swap when it was in the car?

i ask that because i am geting a LS-1, no lie i bought a crate LS-1 w/ rotating asembaly for $600, anyways i think your car is the only LS-1 bird on this forum! :rockon: :yourock:

 

Nope, it's just an LT1 painted red. I had a brain fart last year and sold my LT4 heads/intake setup.
Car should lower itself when everything is back in. Engine bay is pretty empty in those pics.

 

i think the lt5 is a better engine imo. DOHC is a much better design than OHV, but as far as ohv motors go, the ls6 is easily the best engine to date imo.

 

hey Zepher...what kind of "tubing" are you using off of your intake? I thought about doing the same thing to mine....but don't know what it is....or where to get it....

 

nice work zepher, BUT your hood sitting on your roof gives me the heeby jeebies.

 

Hood doesn't weigh much and I have a blanket between it and the t-tops.

That intake tubing was made by a friend of mine from some 4" steel tubing that is used on mack trucks. It's 2 pieces welded together to get the right bends.

Here is a better picture of it,

 

well...I love the looks of that....wish I could get something like that....looks good man

 

$600 That is a great deal.

You should not have any real problems. The mounts are now available from Spohn. Mine were custom fabbed at Speartech. If you plan on keeping the AC you need to notch the k-member. Otherwise your biggest challenge will be wiring. VSS will be an issue in Camaros under 1991 and Firebirds under 1987.

 

$600.oo was a good deal wasn't it!

i have a speed shop that throghs LS-1s in every thing. so i'm confident that they can do it.

any more pics of 4th gen motors in 3rd gens.

 

$600, ****almost faints****

Where in the world did you get it for $600 with rotating assembly? I'm thinking maybe just the block but not the entire engine. Thats crazy.

How far are you from Schamburg? LS1 Speed can help you out too.

 

I have seen the LT5 Camaro pictured above before. It is FUGLY!

 

that is where the car is right now. :hail:

they helped my bro get his 2000 T/A into the 11s.

 

by the way, my car is their whating for Hooker cat-back (whitch is on back order )

 

Where is LS1 Speed? Do they only deal w/ Fourthgens? I wouldn't take my car to anyone, as I like doing everything myself, but just curious b/c I'm not to far from Schaumburg.

 

here is the site, more info at the site... sorry if it dosn't work every time i try to post a link it dosn't work.

their site doesn't deal with 3rd gen, but you should call them.

i know they work on 3rd gens because my car is their. :lala:

 

Yeah those guys have a good operation. I was there over the summer and it's like being in candy land. So many cool fast cars.
