ok i am kinda new to shift but some of you out there know me. i am Tim Arnold and i am the 2nd asst. manager or the tall kid that works at the advance auto on rt. 9 in latham. those of you that know me know the struggle i went through to put a 2002 gsxr 1000 motor in my 2000 gsxr 600… well now i get to go through it again but this time its with a 1994 trans am. i bought it used out in johnstown and drove it all the way back to latham and the motor blew on it so now i need a new one so if anyone has or knows someone with an lt-1 motor it good condition let me know cause i need one. ---

but its way easier to drop an lt-1 in it and cheaper im not looking to make it very vast so a lt-1 is fast enough for me ---

well i dont know what exactly is wrong with it cause i havent pulled the motor out yet but it still runs it just knocks like a bastard…my step-dad is a head tech at otto oldsmobile on central and he says it sounds like a main barring knock and a rod is bent and a lifter is stuck its sounds horrible. to peter the caprice on johnston has 225,000 miles on it i have talked to that guy its a peice and to dave mustangs are like dirty tampons and every pussy has one j/k lol ---

B-body LT1s have iron heads instead of aluminum. and the cams are smaller for low end torque. The short block is the same but you are going to want F-body / Corvette heads and cam ---
