Wasn't an LT-1 essentially very similar to a 302, with 48 more cubic inches? What advantages did a 302 have over an LT-1?

Camshaft, for one thing...

[/ QUOTE ]None! No substitute for cubic inches. Joe, Your Yenko has more power, more torque and basically the same rpm range as my 302! Only difference is that the 302 can run in a lower class, but on the street the 02 has NO chance unless you miss a gear or something.

not much but you can wind them higher

**Salvatore** · #26 08-21-2005, 06:31 AM

A little higher.

With the short stroke of the 302 and some serious compression it makes for an exciting ride. The short stroke enabled the 302 to wind to the moon, thats why a cross ram works well on it . Same pricipal as a tunnel ram. All upper rpm HP.

I have a 69 Z/28 that I love but I will still take the LT-1.

I was replying to the "Whats the advantage of the 302 " I to will take the L-T1. Having restored both and driven them.

Question was, What is the true HORSEPOWER of each motor, They both must be right at 400, if so, in theory, the 302 has more per cubic inch which should be the faster motor but I can say as driven them both the LT-1 is quicker, but then again I am basing a stock 302 on a slightly beefed LT-1
