"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![Moon](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/moon.gif)
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.
