Re: SBC or LT1 that is the question. We just finished up an SB2.2....good lord...Since you've already got them I guess it'll be worth it. They ended up being a major pain but on motor in a S10 (this one weighs as much as an f-body) they went mid 9's on the very first pass. Block was a bowtie by the way...
Re: SBC or LT1 that is the question. mid 9s on motor is my intention <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . then we'll see what the nitrous brings <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />
Re: SBC or LT1 that is the question. This thread brings to mind a question I've had forever. If so much is similar between the Gen I and LT1 motors, why can't say a Brodix Track 1 head be adapted to work on an LT1? I know the reverse cooling angle and the requirement to drill water/steam holes here and there would be necessary but none of that seems insurmountable. Yet every one I ask has a quick and ready flat "NO!" when I ask about the possibility. What I DON'T hear is *the* reason why not. I'm not looking for a bolt on, but in the realm we live in of adaptation, I don't understand why it couldn't or hasn't been done. Those heads flow great right off of Summit's shelf and are more cost effective that a set of GTP ported stock castings.
Thanks,
Dave
