They are production codes General Motor used for specific types of engines. Like a LT1 is its very own engine, it has a specific Intake, water pump is not a typical 350 SBC, Same goes for a LS1. GM has productions codes they use for lots of things but when people refer to LT1, they mean a 93 - 97 F-body (or 92 - 96 Vette or Impala or Caprice) 350 V8 or if they are refering they mean or if they are refering to a LS1 they mean a 98 - 02 346 5.7 V8 (or vette or so on and so on). Just codes to represent a specific engine and induction, thats all.

Haha if I was John I wouldnt get on now

[KPot2004]

actually not all lt1's were 350's i am pretty sure there was a 4.3 lt1

[Rally Sport]

No.. LT1 is exactly that size.. if it changes the name changes too, also a 4.3 is a V6

[KPot2004]

no, i am almost 80-90% percent positive there was a 4.3 lt1 v8

[Rally Sport]

well im not sure, we'll have to wait for someone who knows for sure.. like John to be able to comfirm who's right and wrong.

[cuda_dude]

I'm pretty sure there was a 4.3 LT1 also....

[Genopsyde]

from what i've heard, the 4.3 LT1 was in the caprices.

[cuda_dude]

I'm pretty sure your right Geno

[Rally Sport]

Haha you guys were right.. there was a 4.3 LT1 that was used in the Caprice, it was pretty weak though, around 180 HP.

EDIT- well actually I cant find if it infact was an LT1 but they did have a 4.3 in it.

L99 4.3 lt1, very interesting, why the hell would the make a 180hp v8 when the vortec 4.3 v6 made 190???? must have not made a lot of them, i wonder if they are the same besides the bore??? if so i dont see why u couldnt make a 350 or 383
