Phantom Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 The '97 & '98 LS1's were basically identical with the exception of the air inlet and exhaust and the ECM tuning. They changed slightly in '99 and then again in '01. Some of the later model Z28 and TA LS1's actually had LS6 blocks & intakes but they were a minority. If you can find one with the LS6 block and intake you'll have a stronger, slightly more powerful engine in stock form. also remember that the Corvette has the transmission integrated with the rear axle so it has a torque tube from the back of the engine to th etransmission where the Z28 & TA have the conventional bell housing or torque plate and transmission.

SSflyer Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 The Camaro and Firebird engine uses a throttle cable, and I believe the Corvette is fly by wire throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Workinprogress Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 All 02 Camaro's and Trans Am's had the ls6 intake. I think about midway thru the MY01 they started. It is true about the ls6 blocks being used on some 02 TA's and Camaro's, they are made of different alloy and are supposed to have better breathing between cylinders. No HP difference, but maybe longevity benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
