Thanks guys
PLEASE do not even consider that.
If you put $3000 into heads/cam/valvetrain, gaskets etc. on your stock shortblock you will have much more power and higher quality than that.
Beyond that you will need supporting mods like fuel pump, exhaust etc.

Well can you give me some information as to why this isn't any good?
Its an all 4340 forged scat rotating assembly. and speed pro pistons. I know some of the guys on here use these parts.
And i cant find anyone local to do work on a LT1. and i have had some very bad luck going through online retailers.

For starters it is not an LT1 so you can start by cutting the cowl for a distributor, probably need a cowl hood to clear the carburetor and air filter, need a low pressure fuel regulator to go with the carb. Just a short list to start.
Then the HP numbers a dismal, heads and cam LT1 can make that at the tire.

Yeah its a gen 1 small block so you don't need a pcm but it would take a lot of work to get that to work when like 96capricemgr said you can get a good set of heads and a good cam and make more then that combo will
Okay well i talked with him and it doesn't have to be carbureted. I can go with a fuel injected motor if i choose. And he has a bunch of intake options.
Also i can pick the cam i want to put in the motor so HP numbers are not exact.

Even if you go with fuel injection it still has a rear distributor so it's going to take some hacking up of the cowl to get it to fit. You've been told what a better and easier route to go would be for about the same price

Yea i get that a good set of ported heads and cam would be okay also. But like i said i cant find anyone local to to port these heads. And im not comfortable buying a set from an online retailer Because i have been screwed before.
Also my current motor has low oil pressure so it will need to be rebuilt anyways.
Will the pcm work with the motor if i go with the fuel injected setup?

Verdad Gallardo Just send your head to a reputable place like LE or Ai and get hem to port them and get you a cam. How low is your oil pressure? Someone can correct me if im wrong but the stock pcm will not work with that motor even with fuel injection you will need something aftermarket

ANY reputable machine shop can rebuild your motor. It is 95% gen1 small block chevy. Do you live in Vegas? There is a huge F-Body club there that I am sure can give a good recommendation on a shop for you.
Yes i live in vegas. Its not the rebuild im worried about its the porting and polishing of the heads and stuff like that. because no one in vegas wants to work on LT1's. I think i have called ALL of the shops in town. and like i stated earlier i don't want to go through the internet for stuff like that. Because if i have a problem i cant go down there and talk with the builder in person. I would have to rely on over the phone conversations.

I very much understand your worries. I can not stand talking on the phone or through emails when it comes to customer service. But when you want quality work at a reasonable price beggers can't be choosers. Both Lloyd Elliot and Advanced Induction are highly praised here and on other boards. They are mail order, but are great with customer service and will talk to you in great lengths about what is best for your combo. I would have a local shop build the lower end for you and have AI or Lloyd do your heads/cam/intake. Just my .02.
Not sure where you can rebuild an LT1 with Heads and cam with a full forged assembly for 3k with 200CC heads 0_o where have I been? Comes with everything already assembled If you go to a machine shop and people who have actually gone and got a 383 LT1 priced out the short block itself will clip 3k
He says his car has low oil pressure and will probably need rebuilt so the whole throw a H/C package with LE or AI seems like a dumb suggestion that and LE1 even a with a cam will get close to 3k people forget (Rocker, Studs, Guideplates, Hardened pushrods if you want a valve train that is good for whatever youw ant to throw at it, Gaskets, Tuning, TB Intake porting if you can't do it yourself for the TB, Injectors) The list goes on and on 3k a H/C package doesn't seem like it would be a good idea when you have a whole motor here for 3k

the engine in the ad is NOT an LT1 and would involve something like this to install it, https://ls1tech.com/forums/small-blo...lt1-f-car.html. Even if you were to go efi I don't think the factory LT stuff will work.
I know the engine in the ad is not an LT1 thats why i am asking what it will take to make it work in my 95 camaro.
and i have shopped around here in town and for a forged SHORTBLOCK the price starts at 3500.00.
Thanks Lawhead for getting what im trying to do here. I have talked with him and he is willing to work with me on whatever i want to put in the motor. Its just trying to figure out how to get it into my car.
Will my t56 bolt up to it or will it need to be modified?

Look I do not post a lot but , being a third and fourth gen owner. Let me give you some advice get over your mail order issues and just listen to what these guys are saying. Your lt1 is nothing more than a 1st gen motor with a new ignition a stroked kit for bother motors are not that much diff in price. The blocks have the same stroke ,bore and deck heights. Build an lt1 and save yourself the head ache. Plus do you really want to lower the engine cradle if you have to replacing you distributor. Plus you will be saving yourself wiring and a lot of you parts will transfer. Do the smart thing build an lt1
