LT1 engine ?
I am looking for a engine, mine is about to bite the dust. I keep seeing LT1 engines for sale for Camaro's, etc.., but they all say they will not fit the vette, WHY?
I thought the only difference between the 2, was the 2 bolt main for the camaro and the vette had a 4 bolt main.

The accessories and other bolt ons have differences between the B, F and Y bodies..
The short block on B, F and Y are the same and heads on the F and Y bodies are the same, so just use the shortblock/heads from the camaro and use all the other parts from your vette and you should be fine.

Wasn't the HB different on the F body too? I know they do not swap and IIRC it sticks out farther not sure if the crank is longer or not or if you can swap the hub and balancer from a 'Vette to the F LT1.
