I was told the motor was swapped but i can't tell if it is an LB9 or an LO3 in my 91 camaro RS . Where is the block code because i can't find it.

89vert

well the main difference is an LB9 is TPI,
do you want to know if its a TPI block?
cause the block is the same, both 305 1 peice rear main 2 bolt main,
both 9.3:1 compression,

the heads are different if I remember right,

and the intake is a dead give away

smpmastermind
06-13-2007, 11:47 PM
well if they kept the intake the same which i figure they would it should be a LO3 but i wanted to make sure. Is there any problem just putting a TPI system on that motor? I have an 86 TPI system?

89vert
06-13-2007, 11:55 PM
the heads and the cam are shit,
the 86 chip is a POS as well,
but it would be an upgrade for sure,

wouldn't be quite plug and play though

smpmastermind

besides the fuel pump and intake system with comp... what else will i need to swap slash change? You say not quite plug and play? what else will i need?

89vert
06-14-2007, 12:31 AM
I can say for sure year to year its plug and play,

88 TPI into 88 TBI

but 86 into a 91 will probably have some wiring issues to sort out,

The LB9 is a 4 bolt main, we've discussed this before. It's the only 305 that comes factory 4 bolt

no 305's ever had a 4 bolt main from the factory, i dont think any 3rd gens ever had a factory 4 bolt engine, hell if players cars that were raced with ballanced 305's were 2 bolts why would anything else ever run a 4 bolt?

4 bolt blocks were generaly used in trucks for the simple fact that they pull loads and use lots of bottom end.

have a look on mortec if ya wana good read on blocks and such

where does it say 305 you dumb shit,

all I see is 4" bore 350 mains, 4 bolt, nothing about a 305

and I never said they didn't make any 4 bolt mains,
just said no 305 TPI was 4 bolt you dumb shit
just quit posting,
and yes there were like 2 years you could get a 4 bolt main 305, not on a TPI though
