So can I borrow your car to make my car feel faster?

LT1's aren't really that hard to work on, just gotta concentrate on what your doing, and stay calm, i know something like headers is a difficult job, but my experiences havent been that bad to say i hate them

No. LT1's are put together with standard sizes. And there is the opti in the way when doing a cam swap.

I did that when I put the headers in...not a problem. Just take all the emissions crap off and it's a walk in the park.

No. (if you talking about oil pump...) you need to take oil pan to gain access to oil pick up to oil pump bolts.

Same here. But you won't win. They will just make fun of you and your slow car.

You didn't get the point. I'm not trying to win. I'm not claiming that I have fast car.. (I have Hayabusa for that, i'll race ANY LT,LS, what ever, with it)
All I'm saying is that I love my LT1 and i'm proud of it.. even though its piece of junk.. so as LS

My LT1 had piston slap
I've owned both and have done extensive work on both LS & LT engines. Hands down the LS motor is easier to work on My H/C swap only took 7 hours on my LS1. I cant say the same thing for my LT1. I loved my LT1 but I didnt deny the fact that the LS motor was a better design and easier to work on.
