LT4 Question

I have gotten interested in an LT4.

Can you tell from the outside if the 96 is an LT4? I have seen pictures where there is a badge on the right back below the belt-line. But I do not know if that is aftermarket.

I just read on LT4.com that all 96 6-speeds had LT4's. I had not heard that before.

Is it as simple as: If manual transmission - LT4, if auto - LT1?

Thanks

:yesnod:

Now, this is where someone chimes in that there was one auto LT4 test mule or that the first two 96 6-speeds were LT1's, or something like that...

Yes its as simple as that, if you are really interested in an LT4, all I can tell you is, I have had mine for almost 2 yrs now and I like it more every time I drive it! I don't drive it during the winter months up here in the "FROZEN TUNDRA" , its a summer car only! If you have any questions at all, this is the place to find your answer!! The "looking for the right car" is half the fun!!!

Re: LT4 Question (Snowblind)

The eighth digit on the LT4's VIN will always be a 5. (if its a real LT4)
The eighth digit on the LT1's VIN will always be a P. (if its a 96 LT1)

It's easy, you're racing, you'll be behind the LT4. :D

Re: LT4 Question (96LT4)

There were no badges from the factory on the LT4s so the only ways of knowing if you had one was if it was a 6 speed, the VIN # or the red engine. :smash:
