People are quick to discount the LT1 motor. I have a '94 Corvette that has the LT1 in it and I'm running in the 12s without any head/internal work. This motor responds very well to most bolt-on mods and computer tuning. Although the LT motors don't have the more efficient heads as the LS motors, they will hold their own and they are cheaper to upgrade. Of course cheaper is a relative term. I was going to put in a LT1 in my truck until I started doing the math and then I decided to go "old school."
