I'll have to find a chart somewhere that has all the differences but the LS1's make more power and torque at every RPM level than do LT1's. They also are more reliable, take better to modifications, and are easier to work on.

but the LT1 sounds like a god compared to the LS1

and if your planning on doing a swap into your 3.4.... might as well sell the car and buy the real thing. you have to change everything and it's a lot of work.

least amount of modification for a 95? an LT1.

Worth the money and time? probably not. Its going to be cheaper to just buy a Z28.

Cat-back exhaust, and an intake are the obvious ones. The 3.4 is not a very modifiable engine. There is a sticky in the V6 section that talks about how to get the most out of the 3.4litres. Including different heads, headers, and some other stuff.... Go read it. And turbo is a possibility, but also probably more money than it's worth on this particular engine.

there are swap pages online if you take the time to look. LT-1 swaps are tough i looked into it and ended up sellin my 3.4. i dunno it's just to much $$$$$ to do anything to em. just go the cosmetic route and save for a Z28 as well. that's your best bet

I think its awesome when you see a nasty built up LT1 that can smoke an LS1...I think build up an LT1, itll be awesome. Most people now a days do LS1's (which are bad *** and I want one) but I think its cool to see people stil do up LT1's.

I'm with most of the others, if you really really want a V8, go buy a V8 car, the Fourth Gen Camaro V8s are a bit difficult to work on if you don't have all the special tools, mine was a huge annoyance lifting the car with an engine hoist by the front frame to slide the motor out from underneath, though you don't necessarily have to do it that way, but for the money, you can probably find a nice LT1 car for what you would spend swapping in an LT1 or LS1. I once found a 95 Formula M6 with headers, intake, and C4 ZR-1 wheels about half an hour from home for $4000. The color I wanted too, but I was still dumping money into my LS1 to fix the spun bearings. Although if you look really hard, you can probably find a decent LS1 car for under 10k, it's gonna be a 98 or 99, and probably won't be a low mileage car, but it doesn't have an Opti-spark.....lol
