Default Out with the crap, in with the horsepower.

Decided to end the BS with the LT1, error codes, O2 sensors, and burnt up plug wires. Did some hard looking and came up with the perfect replacement.

What's on it's way to the scrap pile:

What going in:

Will not have to cut the cowl for the distributor because it's where it should be. Not under the stupid backwards water pump. Put a set of LS1 headers against the heads, all I need to do is saw off the flanges and weld on new ones. The tubes will take minimal massaging to fit.

Going to save some weight and get some real horses to boot. This my friends is a real win-win situation.

You can divert that piece of crap from the scrap pile and send it my way.



and we can make it a win-win-win situation

I'm thinking you linked us to the wrong pictures? That's a Ford engine you're putting into a 1995 Z28?

Pretty rank posting that here on the die-hard hard core LT1 forum. This is worse then coming in here and saying the LS1 is better than the LT1 (which it is, you all know)

Please tell us this is a joke gone bad.

Are you sure about that? It's a Robert Pond block, with a Le Mans crank, and all the good stuff. It's worth more that most cars on this list. Wanna see the dyno sheets?

Well I'll give you this much. When you open the hood that will be the last thing anyone expects to see other than a hybrid drive lol.

Get yourself a $50 fox body to stuff that smelly FE into and sell me your Camaro for $500. Win-win.

Another quick Camaro, this one runs low 8's at 167 MPH.

The Camaro above has been on Pinks a few times. Won the Pinks All Out Quick 8 in Phoenix Nov. 20th. Was runner up here in Tucson, a blown Dodge Dart won it. It also got second place in Phoenix a few years back. Been on Pass Time too. Belongs to a good friend of mine. We're trying to get it in the 7's.

My LT1 with the FE was my attempt for an April Fool joke. The 427 is going in a Shelby Mustang Convertible. Nice engine for a street machine.

Should have posted my Camaro w/FE on the Mustang boards If I only had a Cuda! I'd be hiding from flying rusty camshafts

My Camaro will stay LT1 powered. It's just a toy.
