the LT1s are awesome... people will tell you they aren't and that the optispark is a bad idea... but ive got 2 LT1 caprice's with 240,000 and one with 190,000 between all of them 2 starters, 2 waterpumps, 1 fuel pump, and one optispark.

good running engine.

i was into lt1s for years until finally getting a ls1 but i can tell you lt1s last long. if you do maintance you will have a car that you cant kill

They have there little quirks, but that is something to be expected from a motor that is at the least 11 years old now. I have seen just under 25 mpg on the highway cruising at about 80 in 6th and average about 18.5 with in city.
