Re: About to buy Ls1 but have questions
Well the block will be aluminum vs cast iron. Getting a combo eng/trans from a f-body is one of the most expensive routes you can go. That said...$3200 for an LS1 combo pkg sounds about normal for retail?
If you need the aluminum motor for weight or something thats one thing....but I'm guessing you could get a pretty nice cast iron 6.0L (LQ4/LQ9) and trans for that price. Or step down to a 5.3 and you could get a fairly new one (under 6yrs), with under 40k mi or so (I'm guessing).
