block material, cam size, combustion chamber size, head ports, and firing order determine the sound. besides exhaust.

I would beat block material has the least, and very small effect, on the sound though. Very small

LOL, I will always love LT1's man. I'll make sure my LT1/T56 gets a nice home. As soon as I figure out what to sell it for.

I'm doing the same. I already have a 2001 camaro that I got for 4k... w/38k miles. It came with a spare LQ9 that I am building for my purple car over the next year or so. I want to run LS7 heads though. Can't beat a budget LQ9 build!
