So I recently started wondering when does an LT1 lose its charm. I've noticed some guys are going 24x or using standalone pcm. I've seen guys modify sbc heads to fit LT blocks. Some guys are going LTCC setup. If a LT1 didnt have an opti or fuel injection or LT heads. Is it an LT. I guess the only thing you really can't remove is the water pump. When would you consider the cut off point.
IMHO, when it looses it's opti!
When you pull it out and put something else in.
The way i see it, If it is reverse cooled. and running the LT1 water pump its a LT1.
the intake,pcm, and ignition don't make the engine. Its like when ls goes to a dizzy setup. Its still a ls even though its not running coil packs. And using a dizzy intended for a ford.
My car is going to a accel dfi as i type this. and odds are i will go to a victor intake. But will still be a LT1
I agree with Nuckin. The opti makes it.Quote:
