lt1 build up for a 3rd gen Convertible
hi everybody, I'm back with yet another LT1 conversion, ya I know LS1 would be far better. but I already have the LT in a crate, no! it is a used '95 take out with a claimed 40K???? with all that said, I am going to freshen this one up before it goes in. Also I am not going to do the Vortec distributor this time around; I'm not completely in love with that setup, it works good, just not what I had envisioned. More on that as it progresses, and yes I will ditch the Opti again. I will be running the tried and true '411, contemplating coil on plug??? I will build a 4L60E as well for this project. now here is where I need a little help, I am thinking an E85 build might be interesting? It is not going to be a D/D if I go this way. so how far can I push the compression with E85? I would like to get 400 HP, I ain't as ????? Brave ???? as 93Euphoria - tong in cheek! LOL!! besides I am going to have to beef the dog poop out of the uni-body just to get the convertible to handle anything over 250hp. stock the tpi 350 didn't have that much, and talk about flex, and it was just plum scary to boot. ok I'll get this up and see what y'all think
