Bolt on LT1's dont run 12's Just FYI, this car is not a stripped out shell. Full weight 1996 WS6-6spd with working A/C all options and the car has a 6 point wolf cage with a the extra weight of a 12 bolt. Car is probably in the 3600lb +/- a little. So, 12.60's or faster is still a pretty good, more like a 12.40 ish car @ 110+ 
I really like the Cantons, but the height would screw up my DELTEQ setup sitting under the cowl. Canton's were my second choice after the LT4's.

It depends on the amount of weight reduction. There are bolt-on LT1's in the 12's and there are bolt-on LS1's in the 11's, but the cars are nothing but shells and are not very enjoyable. As far as the valve covers go I have the Canton's and in order to get them to seal you need the double gasket made by Fel-Pro. I got mines from Thunder Racing.
