Default Hi! My name is Sam.

"Hi Sam!"

I have a '55 Chevy that I want to put an LS1 or LSx in... with a manual transmission.

I want it to haul

So I want to learn about the different LS engines and what option will give be the most bang for the buck.

I've built a few hot rods... but this one I want to go fast, and be able to drive.

I am looking at possibly buying an engine from GM...

Looking at the 515hp crate motor... or the LSX B15 with a Procharger on it.

I'd like to run a FAST injection unit on it.

I would be very interested in any links people have to others who have gone either route...

I almost started every sentence in this thread with "I".

Thank you,

Sam

Hi Sam! I can't believe you haven't joined here sooner. These motors are two things: ugly and stout. I'm more of a lurker than a poster myself but it's nice to see a friend.

"I've built a few hot rods." There's an understatement.
