Lt-1 cam in the L-98

Can anyone tell me if there is an advantage in putting the LT-1 corvette camshaft in the earlier L- 98 corvette engine ?? Thanks

That would be LT1.

It's a slightly better cam than the L98 got.

Emphasis on "slightly"... given the amount of trouble and expense it will take, it's probably too little cheese at the end of too much maze, for it to be worthwhile

Better off just using 1.6 roller rockers to get the same effect. It's pretty much what it would come out to.
