Hey all I'm the friend that got the motor for my friend. IMO you can't go wrong with the LT1 motor in the 3rd Gen. I mean from my very simple research I am finding 396 stroker kits for 1800-2200 bucks. I see fully assembled LS1 402 or 408 stroker motors fully assembled for 8000-12000 bucks. You have to remember this is a budgeted project. 2200 bucks for a 396 stoker kit+cost of boring the block + cost of assembling the block. I see it being more cost effective way to make the power and go the speed wanted by my friend Dave. From what I have seen the LT1 motor drops right in and bolts right up. The LS1 motor you would need a good amount of custom fabrication, and custom mounts and kmember. Just a lot of extra work. I mean give us some input on this just look at it with an open UNBIASED mind please.
PS--I myself have a 2000 z28 LS1 lol so I too wanted to say LS1, but this fell in my lap
