People have a hard time believing that I can average 25mpg on a mixed tank highway/city in an untuned, bolt on V8. Its a great package thats only getting better (LS2,3, etc.)...

I consistently average 20 and that is with 100% city driving with distances of no more than 10 miles. That is awesome, especially for a 350+ horsepower v8. When I start going back to school the mileage will probably increase somewhere into the 23-25 range, and that is with the 373 gears.

LS1 is a noisy oil burner. Design configuration is 60 years old.

But it's small, light, powerful, plentiful, and it's a fuel miser.

Works for me.

? Noisy oil burner. Some are but not all. I have no piston slap, just the cam noise, and it doesn't use a drop of oil with almost 110,000 miles on it. Sure you get the sewing machine sound with an aluminum engine with headers is going to do that. No way around that.

I hear that, I get(well used to 3/od died lol) 27-28 mpg in an automatic. I have spent many hours explaining to people why the Gen III/IV motors are great, basically everything everyone has said.

Name a motor that is so easily available/cheap to obtain that you can slap on a pair of headers, throw a 150 shot on it make 460-500 whp and reliably drive it everyday.

i remember when ls1s first came out and numerous members on GM sites refused to accept how great this motor was because it made what they had outdated. instead of being excited that GM made a kickass motor theyd just badmouth it and post incorrect info.


as time passed alot of those people ended up buying LS powered vehicles.

its still a great motor even today.

While I agree with you to a certain extend, I find it hard to believe a car can be sprayed 150 shot and still be reliable.

I guess it depends on how often you turn on the jizz.

Don't forget about the LS1 being pretty light to!!

If the kit is setup right you can throw as much 150-200 shots (on a bolt on car of course) as you want at it and still drive it daily with no issues..

Finally, the answer i was looking for.

I always heard that the God himself came down to earth to specifically design and build the first LS1. Of course, he took the engine with him.

you can find any engine from the LS family in anything these days. older mustangs, imports, mud and trail trucks, dirt track race cars, etc etc. its a pushrod design but who gives a crap? it works

I think it's very pretty. It gives me a boner when I look at it. So I can understand why it's so popular.

Let me guess. You like to give it a head job along with sticking your camshaft in it?

The LS1 is the only engine that has big boobies and is gracefully slutty. That's also why it's so popular.
