I know it's not LTX, but as far as everyone else is concerned, it's a slow 95 Camaro..

So are you saying that if I bought you a hot dog and put some relish on it, you would build me a motor?

is this your first ls1 build?
will u be building the shortblock? may i suggest painting the
block a radiant silver, so all will think its a regular "ls1"
u will not be dissapointed.
will change your mind about alot of things

Yea, this is my first LSX Build, and I am doing everything. I even did the Harness to run it in the 1995 Car. It's all being built in the Kitchen, where the AC and the Beer is..
I was thinking about painting it, but I am going to leave it Black and say it's just a 5.3l Truck Engine...
I am goin to take off the FRC's when I go to the Track and tell them the same thing..
Thats playin dirty..
