One can counter argue the the only thing that DOES make an engine an LT1 is the block. IMO if its reverse cooled and a factory LT1 block, its an LT1. I don't care what ignition, intake, or heads are on it.

You wouldn't call an LS1 with a single plane an SBC, would you???

I did not say anything about weight. I will adjust weight as needed to accomplish the goal. I know for a fact that a car weighing above 3500lbs is capable of running in the low 9's.

I think there are some turbo LT1's with mostly "LT1" parts that make 700hp, but if I'm wrong i'm sure i'll be corrected.

Wasn't trying to **** anyone off, just looking to add a bit of humor with an analogy to put this in perspective, but I guess it was funnier in my head.

I understand you were asking about an LT1 record, and I was trying to tell you that you're being too picky about the details and you'll never find the record your looking for without changing the parameters.

Did anyone really think they were going to open this thread and see a time posted in here?

BTW, I would have to agree that an LT1 block and reverse cooling should be enough to classify a motor as an LT1.

Wow, no hurt feelings here but I guess all the LS1 guys that went to the aftermarket LSX block that must make them non LS1 now eh? Those same guys go to sheet metal or Supervic intakes and MOZUS (sp?) heads. Guess you can't call them LS1 cars. lmao!

I still have a factory LT1 block, stock LT1 water pump housing, reverse flow cooling heads, stock LT1 timing cover...etc. To not call my car a LT1 is nuts.

Yeah, so I guess I don't have an LT1 either and I still have an opti.

Sir, please back away from the crack pipe.

Retardation is strong in this thread. And you guys wonder why LT1's have such a horrible name.
