Any reason you went with the LT1 as opposed to modifying the Vortec set up?

because I could LOL Really I never liked the Vortec setup, intake and fuel injection was way to over engineered, the ECU is a POS, kind of like the LT ECU. and I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. next plan is to supercharge the truck??? muhaha (evil laugh). Working out the details to use an Eaton 90, Not looking to set any records, JUST more FUN!!!
