1998 will be a ls1 as mine, great motors, also 98 is the first year of the newer body style, easy way to tell is look at the intake and it will be a black plastic one instead of metal and it will have coil packs over the valve covers

my plan is to make it a street/strip car its pretty much stock except for shift kit and full duals from the cats back. and this thing is still the fastest damn thing ive ever sat behind the wheel of

No i was pretty sure of what i was buyn just wasnt sure what year the LT motors stop and sense all the motors in my trucks look just like a LS but have cast blocks. i assumed they may have done that with some of the cars too
I could pass it up for the price. ITs a 98 with 72K miles and i picked it up for $5K
