I wouldn't mind that. I actually was going to go with an LM7 out of an '03 Tahoe, but like I said, EVERY Gen III+ GM engine in this area (LSx, Vortec, etc.) are appariently made from cast gold and platinum with solid diamond valves. However, my luck lies in the fact that I have connections in the auto parts industry, and I can get MANY parts at cost to beef the LT1 to at least match a stock LS1's specs..... hopefully.

Lol, this thread got so off topic. I did try and search a little more, and I'm still riding that line of uncertainty. Some people say they swapped no prob, others say you need this, this, and this to do it, or it causes unneccesary wear and tear.
