were lt1's used in cars before the 92 vette?because i have heard a few people say they have lt1's in their earlier like 70's vettes- were they original or no?and if they are original were they still reverse coolant?

sorry im kinda an idiot on what engines were in what.
i hope this is the right forum for this,if it isnt feel free to move it.

 

No there were no LT1 cars in the 70s. There were LT-1s, though. No reverse cooling in the LT-1. Try doing a search for this, it comes up every three days.

 

C-M,

The RPO code for the engine in the early '70s cars was still "LT1". The same "LT1" RPO code was resurrected in 1992 for the revised SBC 350.

The '70s version was a 4-bolt 350, solid lifter in most cases, forged rotating assembly, better intake and Holley carb, improved cam profile, and several other enhancements over the standard SBC 350. Depending upon the car they were installed in, they were conservatively rated around 325 BHP (at the flywheel), but realistically were more like 375. Even a "compleat idjut" could milk 400HP out of them with a little massaging.

 

thanks guys that seems pretty logical,thanks

damn for osme reason yesterday i had 304 posts but now i only have 300...communists.

 

Don't feel too bad - I was closing in on 7,000 before the last crash of the board, and restarted with about 5,300. It doesn't matter. Quantity is less relevant than quality.

It isn't the number of times, but the size that matters... Just ask the girlfriend of an 'F' car driver for verification.

 

thats genius

and thats the first time ive heard you talk non tech
