1992 t/a, formula, firehawk LT1???

Ok questions for you guys. In 1992 was there any 3rd gen that came with a LT1?? I have some guy telling me that the LT1 was an option in that year and a very rare option at that. He said there was 800 made.

The only thing I can think of that might have came with the LT1 would have been the Firehawk. But that I'm not sure of. And i know they did not make 800 firehawks in 1992

Anyone help?
Thanks

i'm pretty sure that was the first year for vettes to get the LT1, but there weren't any in the f-bodies (not even in the hawks). he's wrong. bet the guy some money and tell him to prove it.

I believe one firehawk got an lt1 "style" intake but not an lt1! Based on the miniram set-up i believe!

The LT1 did come out for 1992, but it was only in the Corvette. 1993 was the first F-body LT1.

Thats because the firehawk had an L98 from the factory that was worked over by SLP.

The exception to the "T-ram" is #26 When I looked at the car at SLP in 1998 it had only a Stock looking TPI on it. From what I understand it has a different setup on it now...
