Hey guys, new to the forum. I used to have a built 95 z28 which 3 years ago had a tragic meltdown the day it was finished due to a fuel line that wasnt hooked up. Anyways it means i have a stock LT1 cam sitting here in my room. I bought a 1986 camaro a year ago and am finally getting tired of my stock 155 horsepower LG4. I just acquired an aluminum summit intake manifold and was wondering if my LT1 cam would in fact fit into the LG4. I thought it might but I dont want to dig my way down there and find out i am wrong. So does anyone know for sure if i can stuff an LT1 cam into an LG4? Thanks guys.

 

Welcome to TGO. The LG4 didn't go to roller cam until 87. Yours should be a flat tappet block which would require retrofit roller lifters to match the LT1 cam. Probably not worth it.

 

Thats too bad, but thanks for saving me the time and effort.

 

Grab a 260-H from comp cams with the valve springs and some new lifters. That cam is a BAD *** in my friends 283. My dads 327 had a 262-H with 'fuelie' heads and a performer rpm airgap (stock that moor was a 365hp vette motor...its more tame now)

That motor will rip for a street motor and it'll sound nice as well
