Default new guy from Texas

Hello everyone,

I am new to this site. I found my way over from camaroz28.com. I have an LT1 right now, but looking for the right LS1 to either add to my F-body collection or swap engines with. I think the engine swap section is awesome.

Joe

you would be better off money wise buying a ls1 car, and keeping your lt1 for a daily driver. I would just try to have 2 f-bodies.

I am just toying with ideas right now. If I can find the right LS1 F-body for the right price then that is the road that I will take. If not, my LT1 has a lot of miles and is in need of a serious overhaul. I was thinking that instead of pouring more money into it, that I might get an LSx based engine and start over with zero or at least alot fewer miles than what I already have.

Thanks for your reply though,

Joe

I live in the south Fort Worth area right now, but I am buying a house in Burleson in the next month or so.
