Will an LT1 Cam out of a 95' Z28 work in my 87' L98??? Please excuse the rookie question...lol

 

it will if the 87 block has a roller cam in it.

 

Ok thanks!...Is there a noticeable difference in performance???

 

not sure, havent started my new motor yet to be able to tell you!! lol. im sure it will be though.

 

87+ is a roller block.

Yes an LT1 cam will fit. Don't know why you'd bother unless someone gave you it for free.

 

Not much of a difference? I'm not looking for anything too crazy but I would like a nice jump in power. What kind of cam would you recommend?

 

There are several "LT1" cams; the one in the B body motors is not much different from the one you already have. Some of the ones in F and X bodies are slightly more aggressive (emphsasis on "slightly") but I can't recall exactly which ones. All in all though, ALOT of maze to run, in exchange for VERY LITTLE cheeeeeze at the end. Even free, I wouldn't bother.

For an otherwise mostly stock L98, this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-08-502-8/ is a pretty good choice.

You WILL need to upgrade the valve springs.

 

That one Sofa chose will require custom tuning.

 

Ok thanks..I will have the lower intake, plenum and runners all ported and will be putting some Dyno Don headers on as well...any particular brand or kind of valve springs I should look into??

 

Whatever the cam mfr recommends.

In the absence of that, I'd suggest their (Comp) 986 springs along with all the hardware that goes with them (machine work will be required), and a set of their steel-body (NOT aluminum) roller-trunnion rockers.

 

Hey thanks for your help Sofakingdom! I appreciate your input! I am looking into all of these parts.

 

Custom tuning???
