I didn't mean to be so blunt about it but I wanted to paint a good picture of difference between both platforms.
Its pretty rare to find a good condition Lt1, unless you are looking to learn & rebuild.
Ls1's are much easier.
got 24mpg going all around city/hwy ,ls1 a4 with LTs & dumped exhaust.

Back when LS1s where more expensive, the lt1 had a valid argument of it being pretty good for the money. But i think thats pretty much over now, since mostly everywhere, you can get an ls1 for just a little more than an lt1. Also, since the lsx has many different platforms compared to the 2 main ones from the ltx, your gonna have more aftermarket parts for the ls1 than the lt1 for about the same price.
Id go ls1 without a doubt.

the ls engine has a better valve angle heads with symmetric ports for way better flow.the m6 is better for mpg.it usually comes with a 3.42 gear.check out Texas Speed for exhaust and engine parts .a tr224 or a 228r tsp cam are good DD cams.you will need a cam kit .
