By how much? Anyone have flow numbers?

I have a question: Is it possible to take my L98, using just the block, add on LT4 or LT5 parts to make it one of those? Or is the block completely different too?

L98 is different from the LT1/4 and the LT5.
LT1/4 is different from the LT5.

LT5 shares no components with the other motors.

Go here for a detailed list, but here are the clliff notes...

LT1 heads out of the box flow 215CFM @.600 lift
LT4 heads out of the box flow 250CFM @.500 lift and 246CFM @.600

It's a pretty substantial increase stock vs stock

Just for comparison the LS1 heads flow 252CFM @.600 lift...so stock they flow very similar peak numbers to the LT4 heads

Dont get me wrong, but the power difference isnt worth the money right NOW for LT4 stuff. You can pretty goodpower IMHO with LT1 stuff.
And AFR is supposed to be making a new cylinder head that uses allot of LS1 technology in it, for comparible flow numbers and are to be out this year. But then again........
