LT4 Collectibility

[LT4man]

That motor will double that mileage with good care. LT4Man is way over your mileage with his 06, and has only had to deal with maintenance issues and wear items. It's a pretty stout motor. You might want to contact LT4Man for tips/issues.

I believe you meant to type "96".

You are correct, catbert. Only normal wear and tear items and now over 125,000 miles. Driven all over this country, I might add. So, I will.

Engine is all original and so is Optispark Distributor. Only a cap & rotor change at about 90,000 miles.

Basically, Corvette told their engine "engineers" to take an LT1 and "hot rod" it. Worth every penny of the $1,450.00 option I paid.

This is a quick comparison between LT1 and LT4 engines: Corvette Action Center | Model Center | C4 | 1996 Corvette | 1996 Corvette LT1 vs. LT4 Engine Comparison

The Grand Sport Registry has an in-depth explanation of the LT4 engine.

** Thanks for the feedback. I have decided to buy the car...pick it Saturday!! To say I am excited would be a gross understatement. As I grow familiar with the car I'm sure I'll have more questions.

After your feedback I am moving forward with the purchase of a lovely Green/Tan 96 LT4. The transfer will (I hope) take place Saturday 2/4. I am going to insure with American Collector Insurance...anyone have an opinion about them? I'm going to want to replace the exhaust on my car...the system in place is too loud for my taste...any suggestions? Once I get her home I'll post a couple of photos. Looking forward to being a Corvette owner again. (have owned a 66 Coupe Big Block & a 66 Roadster small block)
