Re: great craigslist ad for 5.3 conversion

I just pulled an LT1 out of my 86 to get ready for a 6.0. The LT1 was a good runner but it needed rebuilding and the 700R was on it's last leg. The AC compresssor was bad and the distributor was toast. Parts for the LT1 are expensive and there is not much on them that will interchange with a gen 1 motor. I will be able to do a cammed 6.0/4l80 for what it would cost to get that LT1 going again. And I guarantee that I will have much more power and probably better or equal fuel mileage. Thete is a reason they only made them for a few years.
