On my floor is a bare LS1 block/heads/crank and I am a new Ls1 owner so....

I've searched everywhere including calling GM. But does anyone know where I can find a complete list of LS1 engine part numbers... things like exploded diagrams and technical specs. You know a book of nothing but LS1. Part numbers being the most important.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.... my search so far has been nothing but ,.

If you go on eBay you will find people selling CDs with
the GM parts manuals on them. These appear to be
microfiche rip-offs, turned into .pdf files. I bought
Camaro & Firebird ones, they're cheap (but the guy
I got them from, laid a file lock / password on mine,
pretty cute for something that's obviously copyright-
stolen from somewhere else).

If anybody happens to be able to unlock and edit huge
PDF files, so as to remove any traceability back to me,
I would have no problem "setting it free in the wild".
The freebie crackers I have found, choke (or balk) on
the size.

I can probably do that. I have some more sophisticated tools (all the free stuff sucks).

How big is the file? What do you need edited? PM me with specifics.

87f383

acctually all of them. I found a place w/ a large 1400 pg. pdf. But the part number for the pistons is wrong and I can't find a part number for a complete gasket set. Do you by chance no either of those?

Thanks for those piston part numbers and the seals, not nearly as many gaskets as I thought there were gonna be. And I guess at the price the pistons go for on GMpartsdirect, I might as well step up to some forged ones for only $100 more. I think new stock rods w/ arp fasteners will hold up to my power goal easy enough. Just a cam (230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA) headers and possibly a 100shot. Unless I can find some good Aftermarket rods that are cost effective vs. new stock rods. Thank you for your help very much!

I found a parts listing on northwest-aero.com that
has the full LS1 crate motor parts list... looks like
good stuff. Do not know which MY crate motor this
is, or how much substitution has gone on, but it is
a nice rollup.
