Dose any one no if a 1995 Roadmaster wagon have the LT1??
i have a 97 vette motor in my 38 coupe and i really like it. if i had it to do over again i probably would have went with a vortech motor 5.3 or a 6.0 out of a late model chevy/gmc pickup. much more reliable and cheap hp.

when you ask whats the difference between a carbed 350 and an lt1 i assume you mean besides the obvious? such as fuel delivery for instance. not to mention the distributer located below the water pump. if you do decide to go the lt1 route make sure to get a later model motor, it will have the upgraded opti spark (vent hole) which will help in the notorious distributer failure
