LS1 and Kit Car
LS1 and Kit Car My son and I have just started to work on a kit car, the Factory Five GTM: http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffr...TM/GTMkit.html.
We have our donor car, a wrecked 2000 Corvette and are busy disassembling it and prepping the LS1 engine.
This forum has been a tremendous source of valuable information to us already. We couldn't be more grateful for all the smart, experienced people posting here.
Thanks!

Surprised you don't go with an LS2 402 with L92 heads and L76 intake, though. Same weight, basically. You can stll use the other donor parts too, as far as I know. *shrug*
An LS2 + L92 + L76 would have been a great engine choice.
We actually wound up buying a second LS1 engine from a Detroit area tuner. It had low mileage, a nice build list (425 rwhp), and the price was reasonable.
My wife thinks we're insane and she's probably right, but we're having a good time.

I enjoyed working on car projects with my dad, and I will enjoy them with my son. 
If you can get it to hook!
