dif between impala lt1 and camaro lt1?

[-= c a m a r o =-]

whats the difference between these two motors besides the hp ratings?

[1992RS]

sweet car... Well the engine it's self it probably the same. It's probably the same thing as between the vette and the camaro. induction and exhaust. Just an opinion though.

that camaro has gotten RICE-A-FIED! wtf would you do that to a camaro it looks lik a f***ing supra

[Twin89s]

Dont qoute me but I think the impala has iron heads.... though not sure...

[96CamaroSS]

Impala, Caprice and Roadmaster all have iron heads. Camaro and Corvette have aluminum heads. The engine driven accessories are in different places. Caprice and Roadmaster do not have a remote oil cooler (not sure about impala). The exhaust manifolds are different because the Caprice, Impala, and roadmaster engines have the A.I.R tubes in different places. They all take the same wiring harness.

Ok, so I have to ask, are the rating on those other LT1's [265] accurate, or did they just underrate them as usual to keep them away from the Camaro and even farther from the Vette?

[96CamaroSS]

The HP numbers are probably underrated on the B-body cars.

The Impala, Roadmaster, and Caprice are really big cars so you do need quite a bit of power to get them going. Also the axel ratio's on the B-body cars are so high. The roadmaster I got my LT1 out of for my conversion had a 2.56 ratio rear end.

I wonder how much the heads differ? Do they have the same intake and exhaust valve sizes, or are they the same?

[-= c a m a r o =-]

it does have iron heads... and wtf is it wrong with a camaro looking like a supra, thats one of the few import cars that actually look good. its not rice if theres a v8 under the hood so fuck off

[Joseph1082]

2.56s gears, UG, that sux, and doesn't a big car like that need more torque from better gearing to move it's fat ass. Damn, if I had on, I'd drop 3.42s in there, whoa, I'd be smokin. And so they LT1 rated at 265 is really the same one from the Camaro rated at 285.

[-= c a m a r o =-]

no its not... it has iron heads... and maybe some other shit im missing... go ahead put 3.42s on that heavy ass shit, u'll get 0-60 in 7 sec instead of 9 and top out at 80... even if u put the same lt1 thats in a camaro into an impala it wouldnt be as fast... cuz of aerodynamics and weight.

[Joseph1082]

Oh, I forgot about the different heads, my bad. But so the LT1 in the Camaro is the exact same one as in the Vette then, no difference, yet they underrate it, right?
I've seen those Impala SS LT1's they're pretty F*ckin mean, got smoke in my '96 RS by one several runs.

[-= c a m a r o =-]

hmm... i wonder if the new impalas got ls1s... or do they still use lt1s?

[96CamaroSS]

The new Impala's come standard with the 3.4L V6. The 3.8L is optional. Now I think the newer SS models that are coming out (or are out already) will have a supercharged 3.8L.

[Joseph1082]

They got Grand Prix 3800 Supercharged engines

[victimizati0n]

Do you mean engine?

The Impala has Iron heads, and the Camaro had Aluminum

You lost me when you said "motor" motors are electrical.
