supercharged lt1?
Hey i'm newb around here, but i'm not a newb around cars. I have recently bought a 88 camaro with a 94 lt1 engine in it. The car was also converted to carb. I was just wondering, if it would be possible to put a weiland 142 supercharger on it, The kit that summit offers is pretty cheap and it would be a good bolt on. The kit also comes with it's own intake manifold. Now i'm wondering, could you use that intake manifold? Its made for use on a 350 pre85 engine.
Any help would be appreachated(sp)

Re: supercharged lt1?
Short answer - no. If I remember correctly, the LT1 heads use the same port layout as the Vortec cylinder heads, which is different from a standard small block.
I could be wrong about that though, so maybe wait for some more replies.
I know for sure though, that you would need some kind of block-off plate for the thermostat housing, as its on the waterpump on an LT1, not on the intake manifold.

go to cz28.com and look up Bret Bauer, he can convert gen 1 intakes to LT1s along with a few others. But like all unique conversions it costs $$$. The thing I would worry about the most is the pulley setup that would require something custom, though he would probably be able to fab that too for even more $$$.

Re: supercharged lt1?
Get yourself a vortech head unit, blow through box, and start mocking up the blower to build a bracket for it. IMO the most reasonable way you are going to get a supercharger on it with the carb.
Other option would be to get the 94-96 impala SS powerdyne setup and the vortech box or a carb hat.

Or put it back to FI and buy a supercharger for it that won't take alot of custom stuff on it.
