LT1 in a 98 hoe
LT1 in a 98 hoe Ok so since I finished my 383 build on a junk yard LT1 and got it in the car and running, I now have a stock LT1 that came out of my 97 camaro sitting around. I was sitting there in bed last night scratching my nuts when it hit me. The 98 tahoe has a very similar fuel injection system to the LT1. What if I take the LT1 and build it, then use the 98 tahoe's harness, PCM and distributor on the lt1. I could have the intake modified to take the distributor or I could go with a carb intake and have it modded like the turbo and SC guys do and then use a mono blade straight up and down like the vortec TB. What do you guys think? I know I could spend the money and rebuild the vortec but thats no fun. I don't know if the crank and rods are any good but I am not at that point yet so let me know if you see any flaws in my idea. I like the fact that I can run Higher compression on the lt1 than a 1st gen engine.

my .02 cents??? build the Vortec. bone stock they make more horsepower and torque than an LT1. the heads flow really damn well, and can support some pretty good power. i had a 483bhp 377ci sb with Vortec heads that i was gonna stuff into my 3rd gen, but i sold both. i had maybe $3k into the whole engine. making that kind of power out of an LT1 is gonna cost a little more.
