just wanted to share this. came across this when i saw a mustang wikipedia. so i decided to put ls1 in the search and it poped up with this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_LS_engine
LS1
GM LS1 engine from the Chevrolet CamaroThe LS1 shares little other than similar displacement, external dimensions, and rod bearings, with the earlier small-block V8 engines. It is an all-aluminum 5.7 L (346 in³) pushrod engine and was rated between 305 - 350 hp (227 to 261 kW) and 335-365 ft·lbf (454-494 N·m) of torque in North America, depending on the application. In Australia, continuous modifications were made to the LS1 engine throughout its lifetime, reaching 382 hp (285 kW) in the HSV's YII series and a Callaway modified version, named C4B, was fitted to HSV GTS models producing 402 hp (300 kW). The version fitted to the Pontiac GTO featured a higher-lift camshaft to produce 350 hp (261 kW) and 365 ft·lbf (494 Nm) of torque. Beginning in 2001, the LS1 received the higher-flowing intake (from the LS6), and a smaller camshaft to keep power at the same level; this also allowed GM to remove the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system (Camaro/Firebird only; 97-00 Corvette LS1 never used an EGR system). The block is very similar to that of the higher-output LS6; beginning in 2002, some LS1 engines were actually built using the LS6 block instead. The LS1 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1998. It is also said that the LSx engines are to be touched by the hand of god! Maybe this is why that even though it finished its production line up for GM in 2004, it still able to produce more power, rev higher, and is still stronger than ford's mustangs 3v v8.
Applications:
1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5, excluding Z06
2001-2005 Chevrolet Corvette C5-R, powered by a 7.0 L variation of the LS1
1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, Z28 SS
1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird Formula and Trans-Am
2004 Pontiac GTO
1999-2005 Holden Commodore Ute
1999-2005 Holden Commodore (VT, VX, VY, VZ)
1999-2005 Holden Statesman (WH, WK, WL)
1999-2005 Holden Caprice (WH, WK, WL)
1999-2004 Holden Special Vehicles (all V8 models)
2001-2005 Holden Monaro CV8
2006-2007 Elfin MS8 Streamliner

Anything you read on Wikipedia has as much value as gossip, opinion, or urban legend. Some info is an ernest try. But the opportunity for inserting personal views kills the authority of the site.

The Onion was spot on with their Wiki article:
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/50902
"Wikipedia Celebrates 750 Years Of American Independence
Founding Fathers, Patriots, Mr. T. Honored"
I was reading an article on some Greek mythology, and suddenly every other few words in the paragraph was "*****". I kid you not. Like The Onion says, if you want nitty gritty dirt on the Treaty of Algeron or toys of the 1970s-80s, it's a great resource. If you want facts... mmmm, not so much.
