I think LT1's are cool. I would LOVE to one day have a 30th Anniversary SS! One of the best looking anniversary models GM ever made.

I LOVE my 30th Anniversay SS. I wouldn't get rid of it for the world, and once it gets back up to 100%, I will let CPM see why LT1 cars should get more attention lol.

I would have a 30th SS as a garage queen and clean the engine with a toothbrush. I've only seen two or three of them in person.

It's a shame isn't it! I've let almost all of my subs die, none of em do anything with LT1's & most of what they do is a joke!

I was on the cover and had a feature in the Jan 2008 issue of Camaro Performers. Have they not had any LT1 love since?

we are just entering the transition phase where gm stops making the parts and the aftermarket is starting to pick it up. a lot of aftermarket manufacturers wont pick up the production of a lot of parts because the tooling is to expensive and some of the parts are probably protected under some type of patten or other protection. So soon the aftermarket will slowly pick up production of a lot of parts as they see a market for it. I have seen this transition for few vehicles obviously there is never a guaranty .

Another problem is the production might possibly be nowhere near supportable for aftermarket love.

It is sad really. There is plenty of performance in an LT1 and in the case of cars built before 1993 the can really be a good alternative to a standard SBC or LS2. They are reliable, cheap, and plentiful and can easily be modded to make plenty of horsepower and bolt right in the place of a previous gen SBC with a LOT less mods than a LS1. Still, they get no respect. I don't really worry about it anymore honestly. The LT1 is still a sleeper in my opinion, why not take advantage of it.

over the last several years they have become popular for swaps into classic cars and hot rods because they are cheap and easy to swap. its and easy way to convert to fuel injection. I know I am putting on in my 69 corvette this winter.

GM High Tech frequently has articles/builds about LT cars. Might check that one out
