edit: Stupid idea, I forgot the LT4 low compression pistons are part pf the short block.
I have this offbeat idea that some of you engineers and GM folks might be able to flush out (or flush down
)
What would the $$ or practical limitation be to use the same block build for the LT1, LT2, and LT4?
In other words if all the LT blocks have the good stuff how much more does that cost to go LT4? And would simplifying the two build processeses to one save some of those $$ back for the more expensive parts and block casting?
This might also save warranty work to some extent with stronger internals. But I suppose the LT4 block also might need more of an assemblers manual attention/time.
Like all SSes have track cooling which is used by (guessing here) 10% of Camaro owners including the 1LEs could this another plus for SSes? Espcially if you track.
