I love it when people try and sell L99's as LT1's! LOL

The L99 was available with a best of 3.23 gears and those were only in the L99 9C1(police) cars. Most standard civilian L99 cars came with 2.93s and 27.5" tires, 1400rpm stall, some guys have even found 2.73s.
You are giving it more gear and less weight.
If I had it to do all over again I think I would have started with gears and stall behind the L99 think those things would have been a HUGE improvement before even doing the LT1.

Been done, no point too it since the stock 3.48 crank will take more rpms than the pcm will allow.
If you use the L99 crank and rods then you can use a stock LT1 piston and the deck height comes out stock, but you can't trust the rods at high enough rpms to take advantage.
I think the old 302/327 stuff was done because they lacked the metalugy to make repiable parts in longer strokes at high rpms. That is no longer the case.

I would say that's on the high side, however even though they were powerless they were solid through and through. I had an '95 Camaro and put 200,000 miles on it and it never missed a beat. I only ever had to replace belts, water pump and A/C condensor. Changed the oil religiously and it never leaked or burnt anything noticeable.
