Devils Advocate Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Which 90-00 chevy v8's put down around 225-250 to the wheels stock or close to it, and what kind of prices can I expect to pay for something like this? I know ZERO about v8 engine codes and such, so tutelage would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J E T Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Are you talking performance v8's or the v8's they used in the 1500/Silverado or Tahoe. I'm not too sure about the HP ratings for the v8 trucks. 87-92 L98 (Camaro and TA) - 225 HP 93-97 LT1 ( Camaro and TA) - 265 HP 98-02 LS1 (Camaro and TA) - 300 HP These are just averages at best. Some dyno more, some dyno less. The Vettes obviously have a more HP, but their HP varys in ratings. There are the LT4 and LS6 as well that was used in the Vette, but those vary in HP.

smokin5s Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 LT4 was also used in the 30th anniv camaro... the 305's put down about 225 tq, but that's about it... is this a trivia question or are you wanting to put it in something? if so, just get an LS1... they are fairly easy to work on and make great power.

Devils Advocate Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I feel like saving a second Gen RX-7, so I don't need anything more than about 250-275 to the wheels, even after mods. How cheaply can I find a complete LT1, and what are some good places to look besides EBAY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does the LS1 look better, but performs better as well. I can look you up some if you want. Just let me know how much your willing to spend.

Dr. Pomade Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 The LS1 is rumored to have been made by the hands of God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
