Hello everyone, I am seriously toying with the idea of selling my Iroc and purchasing an LT1 6spd camaro. Since I have not yet installed my stroker kit into my '88L-98(vette), would it be possible to use it on an LT1 engine? The stroker kit consists of a :eagle cast crank, rods, bearings, KB hyperkeunetic(mispelled)pistons, LT4 hot cam, compcams springs(#986-16), 1.6 pro-magnum roller rockers, fluiddamper balancer,
any info would be great!!!

 

im thinking you can do it since your lt4 hot cam has the thing on it for the optispark. I dont see why it would not work. I would maybe possibly ask motor swap since someof them in there no some what on lt1 engines. Im sure it would work thought, but im not positive.

 

The only problem is the balancer, LT1's have a 2 piece balancer, L98's have the std 1 piece. There may be a way around this, possibly just a LT1 balancer for externally balanced engines or having the rotating assembly internally balanced.

 

Pitfall # 2 - 96 and later OBDII cars, had crankshaft position sensor modifications on the front of the crank hub from what I understand.

Stay with the IROC anyway - it's lighter, and you will be limited by the LT1's bore. (You can currently use a 400SB in the IROC, but can't in an LT1 car with the same level of ease. This giving you the power if you choose to go up to a 440CI SB instead of the LT1's maximum of about 416CI or so, both stroked. Also keeps you away from OptiSpark HELL)
