Chevy LT1 Engine Build - LT1 2-Go...Almost
|
Not your conventional small-block Chevrolet! The second-generation LT1 features a few components that are different than its legendary ancestors. To begin with, there is no distributor at the back of the engine. Lighting the fire in the cylinders is the job of the Opti-spark ignition system that runs at the front of the timing chain cover off of the camshaft. Likewise, the heavy-duty aluminum waterpump, which pushes water through the engine in the reverse direction of all other mouse motors, doesn't rely on a V-belt to be driven. It turns via a small splined shaft that connects to a gear driven off of the backside of the camshaft timing gear. Note the small and large openings in the trick factory aluminum timing cover.
