LT1 or LS1
I sold a 98 1LE Z28 rolling chassis for $3200. It only had about 30K miles on it, and it was in excellent condition. Only needed an engine and a tranny. Figure a used LS1 engine and T56 and you'd have a low mileage clean LS1 for less than $7K total. There is a guy here in TX selling a pewter WS6 T/A roller for about the same money. Shop around, you don't always need a complete car to start with.
well you had said this earlier... I just felt as though that wasnt the case.

I've made the change from LT1 to LS1. I have owned 2 LT1s and I never had any major engine problems. My '95 Z28 ran perfect, just the transmission was slipping so I had it replaced. Also had a '96 T/A. The only problem I had with it was a burnt plug wire caused from hitting the header. Both LT1 cars were slightly modded.. long tubes, cat-back, gears, tune. I still love my LS1. Way more power and it is somewhat nearly stock.

Yeah I guess that was my stereotypical opinion from my experiences. But its not always the truth and my statement was biased. But I think you in a way would feel the same coming from a LTX car.
Hey OP why don't you take this in the LT1 LT4 section
See what everyone there says.

Like a few others have said just get what you feel most comfortable with.
Coming from a guy that has owned both, and both being highly modded (Lt1 had a 381stroker that ran damn good and Ls1 H/c car that ran damn good) get the ls1 you will be 100X more happy!!

almost bought it but then my dad said no at the last minute. He said he didnt want to spend the time and money to put in a new engine.
There you go now just find a nice LT1 body roller best of both worlds LOL.
