Default LS1 in Midyear Vette
I am almost finished with this project of installing an LS1 in an Midyear Vette. Was afraid I would be disappointed with the preformance of the LS1. Not so. Runs very strong. Posted a few pictures, What do you guys think?

I am a HP nut. Never too much. I keep wondering what an LS2 or 7 would run like.
Guess I will stick with what I have.
