Interesting that the trans is auto because the LT4 came with the ZF from the factory, right?

Besides the fact it looks like they hoisted it up off the bottom of the Ohio River, I would agree that it is in fact an LT1 and not the purported LT4 the seller would have us believe.

If he wanted to pass it off as the LT4 he should have painted the intake red to make more believable.

I'm no LT4 expert, but werent the intakes and covers red? Sounds like a standard Lt1. Also I believe they used the T-56 trans, but don't quote me on that. My personal opinion is the stuff is probably worthless. to be smacked hard enough to damage valvecover and crack housing? That guy's F.O.S! Worst part is, it'll probably sell to a car guy who doesnt know any better and he'll be stuck. Classless.

I guess he has changed it then since looking at it, I couldn't find anything wrong.

He changed the LT4 to LT1 but still has 330 HP. The LT1 doesn't have 330 HP unless it has things done to it.

At least he removed the LT4 though.

Look at that Trans, ECM and starter! I've seen cleaner anchors on a trot line.

I'd ask for the VIN number it came from and run a 'Car Fax'.

Default I bet its a LT1 and not a LT4

Sounds like the ad is incorrect and is 300 hp and not 330 which would make it an LT4. Usually you get what you pay for. Broken this and cracked that, buyer beware. Ebay strikes again.

If he talks like he types, he must be Tarzan. "engine is from wreck Corvette", & "engine have been stored inside". Grunt! "Jane, bring me bananna, & get Cheeta out of bed, Tarzan tired, Grunt"
