Default Fake CE LT4?

while out at the local chevy dealer yesterday admiring their collection of new Grand Sports and Carbon Z06 coated with super sonic blue (slick color in person BTW), i noticed they had a 96 CE on the used lot.. naturally i go to check it out..

it has LT4 badging all over it.. and they are even advertising it with the LT4 engine - but it is an auto car.. after checking the sticker which shows the equipped options, it says RPO LT1.. hmm.. and it even has the 8K rpm tach ala LT4 motor..

if you are just looking at the engine bay, it sure looks like an LT4..

how much work would be involved in actually transplanting an LT4 into a car with an auto tranny? and then replacing the gauge cluster to reflect the higher revving powerplant...?

i was under the impression the 4L60E in factory trim doesn't play well with the LT4.. as in, it's not a simple plug-n-play operation..

i know of one 96 configured this way - you've prolly seen pictures too.. the license plate reads "AUTO LT4"...

if this car is the real deal - pretty cool.. because the transformation looks flawless...

but if someone was trying to be something they're not -

flattery i guess? same thing with sticking ZR-1 badges on any other car...?

if you are in the dayton area, go check it out over at jeff schmitt chevrolet in fairborn..

here's a link.. http://www.jeffschmittchevy.com/Vehi...ails/761775963
