The 8.1 is a big block Chevy, but it look like an LSx with the valve cover mounted coils, structural oil pan, and fuel injection system. Basically, all of the changes on the gen III small block are on this gen III big block.

Everything is very dusty as it sat for over 6 years.

Trans is an Allison. I don't know yet if it is a 4 or 5-speed??
