Whats the LT4 Engine Build Up?
Ok, from what I can gather, the LT4 has better flowing heads then an LT1,has roller rockers, and a revised camshaft..and i think maybe some work done to the intake manifold?
Anyways, whats the skinny on its build up?
Can someone list the cam specs,head flow specs,valve size,spring height and pressure,compression ratio,etc etc etc?
Id like to know everything and more about this motor.Dont forget exhaust manifold size too.
:)
The LT4 is probably one of the baddest engines aside from a LT5 that GM has ever used since EFI Vettes...and probably very underrated in terms of actual HP/Tq.
Just want to learn more about em.
TIA.

Re: Whats the LT4 Engine Build Up? (2FST4U)
Thanks for the info!I saved the sites for reference.
Im amazed that the LT4 has 240 cfm head flow..I always thought that would be a ittle overkill for a non stroked 350.Guess it works good eh?
Even the cam doesnt seem that radical..I have to say its a pretty good work of engineering.
