So what's an LT1 with Caddy coils? (4coils, instead of the 8 LS1 style)

You people that insist it is not an LT1 unless it has stock intake and an opti are freakin clueless!

A modification is a modification as on any other engine. People with LS1's upgrade their intakes to LS6 intakes. Does that not make them LS1 anymore?
I have seen some LS1's go with a belt driven front mount distributer........does that make them not an LS1????? I have seen some people go to sheet metal intakes. Does that not make them LS1 or LT1 or SBC anymore???? As long as you stick to the roots...it is the same.

In my book as long as you have an LT1 reverse cooled block and LT1 style reverse flow 23* heads......you are an LT1 engine no matter what mods you put on it. End of story.

Tony, step away from the keyboard and go back to your 8 second quest. You're thinking about this too much. I said what I said in jest, hence the grinning smiley.

Couldnt' have said it better..... look at big rick's car.... fastest LT1 in the world..... single plane, giant turbo, opti (yeah right), car has a frikkin dry belt on it for timing and the whole car has been rearranged, hacked up AND EVEN converted to LS1 front end (HERESY!!!!! Yeah you too Chris Sikora!!!)

But still he has the LT1 record for ET and top speed.... are we gonna take it away from him? Nope.... LT1 BLOCK and LT1 23 degree reverse cooled heads... end of story.....

We'll nomatter which way I go LS or stay with LT it going to cost $$$, my only problem with going LS, is the wiring issue....Cause I would love to put an LSX motor in my car but it just seems to be a wiring nightmare...OB1 to OB11, gauges, etc. So I will probaly look at 355 or 383 for know!

Red, talk to Merv. I'm sure he would be MORE than happy to walk you through it, since he's in the process of doing just that himself. Made his own harness from my understanding. Or he hacked one together, either way, it looks nice.

Nitro Dave has also done the swap on his 94 and it turned out nice. He can give you some good info as well.

There is a shop here local selling 6.0 iron blocks for $400.00 with crank! I thought that was pretty reasonable. From my understanding he checks them out and then bores them to the bore you desire. But I do need to get with Merv after he is done and see how it came out and what all he had to do. Be nice to find a donar LS1 car, that might help some!

He's not running 23 degree heads. This is why he had to change the intake.

didn't realize that..... either way it's recognized as the fastest LT1 and quickest.... cuz it's an LT1 block and reverse cooled heads.... so he's still the record holder. nobody is going to take it away from him for not having an opti or an LT1 manifold....
