what type of engine is this?
i needed to rebuild my ls1 in my 98 z28.
some guy wants to sell me this engine.
he says it's ls1, but look a little different than mine.
alternator has a high hook up.
let me know what u think.
took pics from my camera phone.bad quality

 

it looks like an LS1 but its hard to tell from the pictures

 

Maybe it's out of a truck (5.3 liter) aren't the alternators high mount on those?
Any chance of better/bigger pics?

 

Sure it is a truck engine .................

any larger pics???

 

whats the diff between ls1 truck shortblock and camaro ls1 shortblock?
he's trying to sell me the short block and put the rest of my engine on it.
i really need help

 

which short block; 4.8, 5.3, or lq4 or lq9 (6.0's)

 

It does look gen III. I really can't tell if it is my eyes playing tricks on me with the picture size/quality, but that looks like a truck manifold. For a brief period, if I remember right, there were actual 5.7 ls1s in some trucks. I could be wrong on that one though. However, make sure you aren't dropping a 4.8 in your car. How dissapointing would that be...

 

that is not an aluminum block either.at least it doesnt look like it with that rusty color.

 

 

thanks for the replies
