LT1 questions I have a 95' LT1....I am seeking a little advice on a combonation?
I have been reading the posts here for a few days...I am actually putting this in a 64 chevelle! I have been around a bunch of big blocks and few built SBC! But I have never done much with LT1's so I thought I would ask the guys that know! I am not looking for a crazy amount of power just want it to sound nice and run good! The car will also have T56 and 9in rear probably 4.10 gears
This is what I was thinking....
58mm throttle body(probably Holley)
Comp cam 07-467-8
http://www.powerandperformancenews.c...Category_Code=
30pd injectors
minor porting(intake and heads)
1.6 Roller rockers
mid lenght backswep headers
3in exhaust(spintech mufflers)
a pcmforless tune or possibly speedinc.com tune not sure yet?
If I am missing something or there is something that would do better???? I open to suggestions?
Thanks in advance?

I have to go with midlenghts......ground clearance!
The car is on air ride and the crossmember sits on the ground! I know longtubes would be better but I just can't run them!

crossmember on the ground...longtubes smashed or dragging on the ground....long tubes for an a-body hang down 2-3 inches lower than the crossmember
cannot do long tubes if I need to downsize in throttle body I can but I can not do long tubes!

sounds good!!! 9in is alot or rear end, but will never break I guess..more head work or some aftermarket stuff will get you alot more power. what kinnda intake are you gonna use? Guess you could fab something up. Good luck with it and post up so pics when your done.
I would save the money on the throttle body and put the saved coin and a little bit more into the heads. The throttle body is only needed if your gonna be pushin 500+ horse. Definitely post some pics of the car in progress, sounds cool!!!

I have been told by Tom at LS1 speed to do the beehive conversion and the comp 306 cam......I guess I will look around locally for someone to do some port work and maybe upsize valves! Intake I guess will be stock....however I have thought about making one out of Aluminum......but it seems like there are alot of vacuum lines and ports that go into the intake I will look around and see what I can find on fabbing the intake thanks for all the help thus far guys!

any head suggestions?????
Im running edelbrock Lt1 style heads. Theyre relatively cheap, good for the money. Mine have quite a bit of work done to them on top of what edelbrock did, so I cant really tell ya how much they help. I think they run roughly 550 each. Im pushin 525 horse or so, all motor on those heads.

here is the flow numbers on the Trick Flow Heads that doesn't seem real good? Or is it for an LT1? I can get these for a little or 1k
