Rats! I thought you were doing an in detail LT4 supercharger install on an LT1.

That would be nice! An in depth "How to" install thread, to install a LT4 supercharger on an LT1 and where to buy the parts needed.

As many LT4 superchargers as you guys at LMR replace with something better, it sure would be a great thread for you to.publish. There are many of us who would do this and buy it all from you or have it done at LMR.

I can think of a volunteer LT1 car anytime you need! It can magically appear at your front door within 5 minutes notice!

I'm no engine guru but I would think a lot of stuff would have to be done to the LT1 engine to make it stout enough to handle the LT4 blower. Like having to replace with ie forged pistons, rods, etc... Probably not a very easy or cheap process. Anyway this will be an interesting thread to do an LT4 swap out. I'm in.
