just a thought, but if your going to spend that kind of money, why not just do a ls swap? the 5.3s are cheap as hell.

^^^^This. Unless you really wanna stick with an LT1 for reasons other than performance, that $$$$ is better spent on an LS car

This requires an upgraded clutch (monster maybe), aluminum DS, and 12 bolt rear at minimum if the OP wants to hold that power reliably. Probably another $3500 on top of this combo

Plus you still have the weight of an iron block, reverse flow cooling, and Opti ignition system.

Ditch it! I once was an LT1/LT4 fan but realized how behind the platform is. I would advise selling the car or doing an LS swap. I personally prefer the appearance of the 96-97 Camaro SS body style over all other F-body cars. But it's up to you ultimately. Good luck.

You should call craig at GTP. He still does LT1 heads and we are about to have a guy send down his Impala to get a 396 done with other misc items. send me a PM for his number. He knows the LT1 pretty well.
