i picked up my LT1 out of roadmaster lol. From my understanding the heads may be different than ones out of a firebird/camaro but still… 400$ for a good running engine that makes decent power stock is a good deal in my book.
if my car had an lt1 in it already i probably would build that . if my car did not have an engine, i would definitely save a bit more and go with an lsx motor (depending on goals of the motor)
Iron headed with smaller cam. The lt1s in the roadmasters were built to be have a good amount of torque but not much for power and the heads don’t flow well.

The iron heads flow a little better than the aluminum heads. This is fairly well-documented. The flow is not a lot better but it is measureable. Like 5-10cfm better. Barely offsets the added 60lbs on the nose of the car, and they don’t accept bigger springs like the aluminum versions due to the spring perches.
My na 383 is right around 400rwhp. Stock ported heads,mild custom grind cam,all the bolt-ons, and a custom 3" true dual exhaust over the axles.Getting the tune spot on is key.
