Another reason we went with this cam, and a thicker head gasket, is that a blower is planned on down the line, and we didn't want to tie our hands with compression ratio or camshaft.
The motor is a standard bore 6.2 with Compstar rods and Mahle pistons, was a good foundation for making power now, and later, with a power adder on down the line.
Ive done many LS swaps on these trucks, but this is my first start to finish LT build. Its def not for the faint of heart, because just about everything is different between the two engine platforms. And the aftermarket support just isn't there yet, like it is with the LS platform.
And yet I'm looking to put an L86/10spd into an 86 now....
If anyone has questions, hit me up.

I'm traveling down this road right now (L86/8spd in a 93/84), and you're absolutely correct about the LT's being majorly different! Nothing that I have found crosses over...
. The aftermarket support is coming, but not anywhere close to where the LS stuff is.
So far we have pulled the motor out of the 93 and are getting ready to place the new setup in with the Dirty Dingo adjustable motor/transmission mounts. I will report back after we get everything placed.
