Default Help a Newbie?

I'm hope that I can learn a little more about the LS1 other than knowing it's a Chevy Engine. I know next to nothing about cars in general so I was wondering if there was a site that has a spec sheet on the interweb that tells all about the LS1. ie bore, stroke, valve specs, camshafts

Sorry if this is yet another repost, but I searched and couldn't find anything on the site.

Better yet... go to www.ls1tech.com and do some searches for the things you're looking for.

Welcome to the site. There is more LS1 info here than in any book.

Read, read, read!

Quatney,
If you want to learn about the LS1/6 I would do the following:

1) Read this very interesting "background" article on the LS1 and its development from Hib Halverson: http://www.idavette.net/hib/ls1c.html

2) Read about the updates that came with the LS6: http://www.idavette.net/hib/ls6/index.htm and http://www.idavette.net/hib/02ls6/index.htm

3) Pick up the LS1/LS6 performance book by Chris Endres that Blackattack mentioned above: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books

4) Then (IMO) you will have enough background to really learn from this site.
