I figured I'd get some pointless comments from some of you. I never asked anyones opinion on if they would do it. By the way the car was an LT1 SS. That's why I wanted to go back stock. It wasn't a a "dirt cheap" regular LT1. I didn't mention it because I just wanted a straight foward answer and was hoping just to get an answer not get grilled for wanting what some of you don't. By the way there are LT1 cars going 9's so it's not like it's an obsolete motor. I like them and wanted an original LT1 SS. You don't see many LT1 SS cars as rollers do you? But I think I said it already but I decided to pass anyway.

Plenty of sbc motors goin faster than 9's.. But realistically your don't know what you'd be getting into with someone else's swap... Fwiw ls is a more reliable platform to drive everyday.. Plug wire changes take 10 min on a ls vs a day on a ltx etc there'd pro's cons to everything..

I completely agree. There are MANY advantages with the LS motor. But at the same time I have no issues working on LT1 motors. I've had LT1 cars for more than 10 years...been through many motors, transmissions, etc and I find them easy to work on. I just think it's kind of crappy to have people call me retarded for wanting to do this car a certain way. Who is anyone else to judge?
I have loads of respect for LS cars, my brother has one and it's badass. I like my LT1 cars simple as that. And I wanted this car to be the way it came. And I don't see why people have a problem with that. I've had great luck with LT1 cars. Had several past 160k and still ran strong and didn't burn oil and never left me stranded.
But again I've decided not to mess with the car because of the swap already being done and I don't really know what all was done and I decided not to get into it.
I appreciate those who actually tried to help...and for those who think if you don't have an LS1 then you're retarded...I got nothing for you. There's no need for that so I don't really know why you guys even bother replying.
To add...it takes me about 1 hour to do a plug change on mine. Like I said I don't have a problem working on LT1 cars. I know them pretty well and have done almost everything you need to know how to do with them.

Thanks man I apprecaite it. I'm no puss or anything just trying to be a bigger person than guys who name call from behind a keyboard. I know LS cars fairly well...no expert but that's just something I have no experience with. I've never done a swap so I just wanted to see if anyone could help...obviously that was bad idea, lol. Thanks again man.
Cheap speed is a set of forged pistons, rods, and a 200 shot, lol. With any other decent mods you've got an easy 10 second LT1. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
