they only made 100 97SS cars with a LT4 and they were all 30th anniv. cars . white , with stripes , and houndstooth interior. the LT4 was rated @ 330hp. and the same tq as the LT1. the LT4 had a different intake , heads , camshaft , roller rockers , timing chain , 4 bolt block , filet cut crankshaft , dual mass balancer , and no EGR valve (the overlap on the cam made it redundant)and a few other little things. if you convert a LT1 to a LT4 and add a GMPP Hot Cam kit they say it will make 425+hp, but it's pricey (*last i checked it was $2300 , and you had to have the comp. tuned yourself)

Truthfully you're better off going for all aftermarket parts instead of the LT4 conversion heads/cam/intake. You can get a lot more power for your money if the parts don't have GMPP stamped on them, plus an actual GMPP LT4 intake is pretty hard to get your hands on, but Edelbrock has started to make a reproduction.

he wont even let me buy a lowering kit for my ION, through saturn, cuz his beleaf is it messes the suspension up.. it comes stock with what they factory thought was best. same thing when we're looking for snowmobiles and such.
