In this video I discuss the Stealth Bolt Mod which fixes a GM factory defect in the Impala SS and Caprice 9C1. If you have drum brakes this does not pertain to you. This is probably the one and only mod for the B-Body that is model specific.

LT1 "Like." Not a 4 bolt main. The 9C1 however had a real LT1 in it.
I've owned a 9C1..... Same engine......
The Camaro never had an LT1 then ...... I've no clue what you're saying here? The manufacturer begs to differ. They all share the same LT1 RPO codes and same numbers on the blocks. Gen 2 LT1 is nothing special.... A gen 2 LT1 is just that. A couple main bolts and differential cylinder head material does not make an engine a whole new engine. Or "real" Again... GM begs to differ with your logic here. The B/D body cars (including the precious 9C1) got the 2 bolt iron head LT the Y body cars got the 4 bolt aluminum head LT and the F body cars have 2 bolt and aluminum. It's an LT1......
Caution on tuners. Bryan H is no longer tuning. He was good.
He was at the time I recorded this. He's on Facebook.
Any information on that intake mod? I was looking at CAI kits for my 95 LT1 in my firebird and I cant find anything similar to what you've got going on, just intakes that go down to the stock position
It's some Chinese intake I found on eBay I just never got around to making a shroud for it. Not the best but I couldn't wrap my head around paying 400 for a similar set up.
@@nikothevirgo ah okay gotcha. Im also not wanting to pay 400 for something like that haha
Thank you for everything. You said “Shut off Switch “ Is this for water pump ? Where do u install it ? Thank
lt1 heads flow better the lt4 heads dude just talking 😂😂
Are you gonna provide actual data or are YOU just talking
Listen to the video you said it but ok i have one now built and aluminum lt1 heads flow better and lighter i have a set of LE2 with the intake ported but carry on you right 😂😂
You're just nitpicking bud.... In the video I said the "LT4 head flows better than cast heads". Factual. Use the device you're typing on to look it up.
You clearly care about my content more than me. You should seriously make your own. Way better use of your energy.... Plus there's no new cool shit coming out about modded Impalas. Go for it
Telling me to carry on under my channel is insane. I already feel like my videos are too long explaining things now here you come. I was referring to *stock* heads.... In STOCK conditions yes the cast iron heads flow better than the aluminum head and the LT4 heads flow better than them both... As they should..... Now when you port them? 643s and 374s shine...... Feel better? I have 2 others videos talking about this. You're beating a dead horse and preaching to the choir at once. No need to be so damn condescending. Simply ask me what I meant ..... I'm not these bots.... You can ask me questions....
just spend the money and get the AFR 210
Have fun with that
@@nikothevirgo i did on my 98 camaro SS and LE2 on my 1995 impala SS
Thank you for great advice
Tom knows his shit for sure! If he says it, it's basically from the mouths of the GM engineers themselves as far as I'm concerned.
Looking forward to seeing your progress on it. My trans has started having issues so I'm doing a manual 6 speed swap. Keeping the LT1 for now.
What kit are you running for the swap??
@@nikothevirgo I have a friend who can install a T56 magnum for me using the kit from 3 Pedals. My auto has already been rebuilt once , so I'm ready for the change...
Anyone know why my 96 Trans Am tops out at 98mph? 5th to 6th shift just bogs. Full bolt on LT1 with Lt4 heads, hot cam, ported intake, bbk throttle body and headers, MSD ignition with NGK plugs, and SLP Loudmouth exhaust. It has an off the shelf OBD 2 port tuner.
Did you recall removing the speed Governor?
@@nikothevirgo no. I don't have any tuning equipment aside for a scan tool. Would the 159mph limiter affect it at 100?
I want the pcm
Sold
Ammo picky? I’ve seen some people say they’re picky
I've had good luck with blazer 124 grain fmj rounds. I'd bet it's the new ejector that helped over the stock one.
10 sec 1994 Impala ss check the build sheet on that motor. If you have a 10 sec car you can believe it's not your local auto parts , parts that's in the build. No build is cheap, I own a 1994 with a Lt1 making 425 and a 1994 with a ls making 525 and it was cheaper in parts for the ls. It's your car just do your home work before you start spending $$$. Great video/ knowledgeable...
How's it coming? Can't wait to see the progress. I want to put an LSA or centrifugal blower on mine too 🔥
Waiting on the harness now. And hell yea I'm kinda swaying more toward the centri they seem to make much more power and can be had cheaper. And people have lost their minds with some of these prices on LSA stuff 😬🤣
@@nikothevirgo Yeah, exactly... I've got my eyes on Torqstorm or used Vortech kits. Torqstorm just came out with an 80mm that can support 1000whp 😈
Bull shit. lol
Awesome
Have you bothered researching or experimenting with anything I mentioned in the video? If not carry on with your "Bull shit"
Were you running 1.6 rr's with this build?
This is Jason Lee from ECIRS. He was running 1.6RR stock internals 3600 yank SS 3.73s M/T Drag radials. Weld 15" wheels in the back
4.11 gears with a locker and full exhaust with x pipe. That'll wake that car tf up!
It was upgraded with 3.73s years ago. The only thing that wasn't modded in this video was the engine internals pretty much. IMO the gearing saves this heavy car dramatically lol.
The LT1 is a beast of an engine. I've always said it, an LS engine is a waste of time.
Fair enough. I have a love/hate relationship with both engines. Nothing beats that SBC sound and they don't look like crap like the LS no plastic
I have lloyds heads and cam package and hope to make 400 rwhp. Even if I get close, I'll be happy. I'm rebuilding my 94 camaro and hope to be having it back on the streets soon.
Find a good LS motor yet? I picked up a LQ4
Yes L96 same engine almost
ECIRS
5:01 this is my biggest gripe with this car. People ask so much more for the impala than the caprice or roadmaster that it makes the impala feel like an overpriced attention whore. Idgaf if it's a 'real impala ss', the other cars are nearly identical mechanically anyway. It's like you're paying extra thousands for the name and status
I call it "Clout Tax" lol
So I need a little advice.I got the ninety four buick row master with the l t one I was talking to this guy I and I was told what I could get a chip put in it and get a bigger throttle body and I do want a cold Airtake flow what you think
Don't do it
Can you put lt1 in old school malibu 79 and have it still fuel Injection
Yes that's a common swap there's info lt1swap.com and there's an LT swap group on Facebook for the gen 2 with a lot of posts about that. You might be surprised what cars you see lol
is that an HK handguard? or a US made one? and is there any play or wobble in it?
I bought it used on GunBroker so I'm unsure exactly but I'd assume it's US it was only 22 bucks. Fit like a glove.
Great info thank you 💪
Your missed bro, more vids!
Great review! Thanks
Keep going
Good tips! I'm doing all the same stuff myself, but with a 385 stroker.
I think relocating the ignition coil helped me quite a bit!
The rating was because of compression laws. Thats why that car came with a lt1 same with vetts and camaros and mustangs the cobras in the 90s were 4.6 supercharge. They drop that in the 2000s. Also chevy did brong back the lt1 in 2016 camaro but its 6.2 not a 5.7.
I know...Not the same engine. LT1 is just a code
They had another in the 70s. Still a different engine.
This is the absolute best header for b body, even the 3in exhaust is easy to install and fits perfect, I even upgraded drive shaft to 3.5 alum, an still fits perfect
You are very correct in this video. I've had my 95 Z28 with Lloyd Elliott heading cams plus since the early 2000s. Back when he was just starting and uMI was still being made in their garage. It is amazing the misinformation that I see here on CZcams from a bunch of young kids that have no idea. Good job! Trying to dispel a lot of these rumors
How is break in period going?
Smooth as butter

I have a y body lt1 in a 88c1500 2wd I’m looking for 400+ at the wheels
I was just thinking about you the other day wherever you buy your engine, can you let us know because I’m trying to do an LS swap I can’t put too much money into the else you want anymore. It’s getting harder and harder to find these parts. Basically I’m I’m just doing my money at it and it’s not going nowhere, no one ever told me about the transmission so that’s a good tip. Is there a way we could email you if I got more questions? I love my caprice
Sent you an emai
I'm so all set going with a LS Ive had a 2002 SS CARMAO SLP. I got a 1996 SS SLP Right now with 33k on it. I will take this car over that any day/ Both the same with 6 speed 3;42 rear. This 1996 is so much more responsive yeah i'ts a 96 SS SLP A lot of people say don't do mods to it. Why not I'm making it mine how I want it I don't understand some buy a car and sit on it for 10 years hoping to make a few grand or even what you paid for it. yeah you got most of your money back.. But you didn't drive the car you just let it sit. And now its going to benefit the next buyer more than it is the person that let it sit. Like me I got this 1996 SS SLP 1919 with 33k on it.. and it is Mint Mint Mint// It was all original I got stainless works and the Torque Head Kit on it this winter. All else heads and cam want like 400 to 450 at the wheels some 3;73 gears and it will last 10 years whoever bought it they took real extra special care of it. thank you/ Im not going crazy with it enough to have some fun when I feel the need. other than that I will dive it normal enjoy it I know foe a fact there is nothing close to this out there in this shape. I looked at a lot of them from 1978s to 1996 Camaros firebirds all asking 20k thinking I was going to get a good car at that price.. YEAH NOT// This was a 1 owner the poor woman got sick so she was selling. a lot of junk out there your better off doing it that way you know what you have.. you cant get the truth out of anyone to save your life.. o yeah it mint get there after driving for 2 hours and the doors are falling off.. lol vented a bit lol all the cars I looked at foe that kinda money and o yeah mint and all rotted in half. lol kinda off topic a little but build it yourself your going to do it anyway LOL We all say no where going to leave it.. yeah ok NOT// LOL
Man my LT1 dropped a valve in January because I straight piped it smh. I’m in the process of figuring out what to do myself. Top end rebuilding gone cost me about 3-4K. I got a 6.0 out a Yukon Denali I was about to drop in my box Chevy but now it’s going in my impala! Got to do what we have to do man. I’m going to rebuild my LT1 and drop it in something else myself! I’ll be watching man and taking notes!
Damn that sucks 😬😬 Thanks for your support man!
Highly underrated engine a lot of power just in a retune
I coated the top of my 93 with silicone when I REO water pump I never had any issues I had a 93,95,96 all 6spd cars
You still got the computer ?
Hey it sold shortly after I made this video. Sorry
isnt the 4l80 a little bigger than the 4l60 ? will it fit without any issues ?
Just have to massage the transmission tunnel a bit and change the crossmember out for a custom one from Clear Image Automotive
@@nikothevirgo is it worth it though ? i mean by "massage" you mean cutting and welding ? wouldn't it be better to get a more modern version of the 4l60e and rebuild it with better parts. it would probably handle over 500 hp easily.
@@ashaaib hammering no cutting I got the adjustable mounts so that also helps along with the custom crossmember. The 80e sucks up power but from what I've been reading it's that it's more durable than the 60e and seems more "forgiving"
Good Luck on your Build! Thank you for contributing to the LT1 community and leading us to the right guys. What’s your Goal for this Build?
I eventually want to install an LSA to the 6.0 and just have a simple daily drive-able set up. Won't be a race car or anything crazy like that. Budget and simplicity is what I'm trying to aim for. And for the LT1 Im gonna keep it around forever I still love the engine a lot the old school sound and the reverse flow cooling iron block it has so much going for it I just feel it'd be better in a lighter car and carb swapped and put into a more old school configuration
Going for it. Express van would have most of what you need. LQ9 or LQ4 with a 4L80E.
Thank you Sir!🎊
I got a 9th gen impala LT, and I'm thinking of swapping for an LS. Right now, I'm doing my research on LS swapping. And I wanna do it on a budget, I don't wanna spend a lot of money.
Can't go wrong with a 5.3 there's a guy with a white one I think it's AWD if I remember correctly. It looks like an extensive project but very worth it. GM should have put an LS in all of them I really love the body style I just don't get why they didn't put more engine options out there for it. It looks way better than any Mopar out there
Love your SS I drive a 95 SS I'm totally interested in any video i see with the 94-96 SS
