when you put a cai on.
I am a huge believer in the opti... Its part of why i love the ltx motor. i also love the fact that gm said... Lets flow the coolant backwards...and that will allow us more compression in a pump gas car....
I think the ribbed intake is very ltx.....
Now....i understand why people upgrade many of those things .... And i dont know that it stops the engine from being an ltx also... But do they have to stay to remain an ltx?
I dont think so... Its a sign of the times...new technology just brings the ltx up to date.
So i agree...its the block with tge magic 327 that makes it ltx
Like a person who has a sex change...if they were born with a dik then their birth certificate says MALE. Later in life if they have it snipped and turned inside out because they want things to "perform different " than the "factory" intended...that birth cert still says MALE.
I hope that makes sense...
Now with that said...would an aftermarket aluminum block "ltx" block that uses an opti and lt4 top end be an "ltx?"

It's the block, everything else is built off of it. If you go by the opti being the only reason it's a LT1 then you could have SBC heads, intake whatever else you wanted to make work and still run the opti and call it a Lt1.
Sorry popo, if you get your zippy snipped, you're no longer a dude.

The way i see it. The block and cooling design makes it a LT1. The LT1 is based off the tried and true design of the gen1.
Due to lack of aftermarket support on induction for our motors. Proves we are a resourceful group. And make things work. Its not our fault we can adapt a whole previous generation of parts to our car. Heck GM even gave us a hole to drop a dizzy in the block.
These options=Winning :D
Imagine if we has the same aftermarket support that the LS has.
When things change you either adapt to survive or DIE.
But it does not change the ge der on the birth cert.Quote:

This should probably be a sticky.
