Question Heeeellllp!!!!!

my lt1 is nothin but garbage now haha, one too many freeway runs with all the other hot cars in my area, i have ripped it apart one too many times and now am just tired of it, however i am still in love with my 95' trans am, are there any crate engines that require minimal modifications to the car that will be street legal, and are still powerful, please tell if so

Your car has the potential to rip apart any car on the street. What do you have done now? LT1s should stay LT1s.

Send your heads and intake to LE and have Lloyd grind you a custom cam, custom tune. Lots more power to be had. Also 355 383 396. Spray, blower, turbo's? Will cost less than a crate motor.

you dont want a crate...have a machine shop do your bottom end up with some goodies and stroke it and bore it...then do your top end with LE
