read some of the stickies at the top of the forum

 

WHen you do plug changes from a LS1 to an LT1 you're gonna be in for a surprise Even though it wasn't that bad....Check for timing chain and intake manifold oil leaks though, as they are very common on our cars. LT1's are good cars, you'll enjoy it.

 

I think you will be satisfied with your choice...and yeah spark plugs are a bitch.

 

It's not bad at all if you remove the A.I.R. system, IMHO. But removing the A.I.R. crossover line on the front of the engine--now that's bad! Good thing you only have to do it once...

 

hell ya 97s are sweet man. you can get some really good power just from bolt ons. lt1s are so much more oldschool, you will know exactly what i mean when you drive it.
