Re: Top end swap on my 92 LT1 to the LT4 (fresh start)

Still Missing:

Headgaskets - I recommend the Victor Reinz PN 5898, Mr Gasket PN 5716G, or GM Performance PN 12553160

Intake Gaskets - GM Performance PN 12528884, Fel Pro PN 1284 or Mr Gasket PN 135G

Timing cover gasket, crankshaft/balancer seal, WP gaskets, WP drive seal and Opti seal - Fel Pro makes a "kit" that is cheaper than buying all that stuff seperately. Fel-Pro QTCS45956

ECM - Honestly PCM4Less has litterally tuned hundreds of hotcam LT4's and can hit it darn near perfectly mail order. I'm sure others can do it, but I've actually seen one of those hotcam combo's they tuned and it was spot on.

Injectors - Your stock injectors are fine provided they are in good shape.

What are you going to do on the timing chain?? They are different between the 92 and 95.

If you want to keep the factory cam driven WP the GM Extreme Duty timing set is about your only option. GM Performance PN 12370835

You can upgrade to any number of double roller timing sets to fit 86-99 GEN I SBC's w/factory roller camshaft - but you'll have to utilize an elect WP. The Cloyes PN 9-3545X9 is the best of the best in this chain class and what I have in my 92. There are many other options out there from Cloyes, Roll Master and SA Gear thou. Any of these will seem cheap compared to the LTX chain set.....
