Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my LT-1

Can't hardly stand the waiting. Ready to get started. Trucking Co. called yesterday and said my engine/trans will be delivered on Tuesday 22nd. It's a 1997 LT-1 w/305hp and a 4L60E transmission, only 40,000 miles on it. Was seriously thinking about an LS1, but paid $1800.00 for the LT-1 complete with everything including delivery, Could not pass up that deal. Guess I will go ahead and pull the engine/trans from my 72 240 this weekend and start getting the car ready.

After months of reading all of the ideas on this forum , I am going with the JTR kit. Seems like it would be the best and easiest kit to use.

Wow, that is a GREAT deal you got. If you come across another deal like that, hook me up. icon_smile.gif

PS, Now would be the best time to install a bigger cam, and ported heads. icon_wink.gif

Is it out of an SS? I believe the 1997 SS had 305hp and the standard Z-28 had 285. Regardless this should be real healthy and tractable. Darius' car had the stock LT-1 and 6 speed and it went 12.30's I believe. If i remember correctly with the blower on the stock motor with low boost it ran a 12.0-11.90 in the 118-120 range. Only a small jump in ET gain but a big 10mph increase in the traps. Have fun and good luck with the swap. Again, I'm going from memory on Darius' #'s but I do believe they are pretty accurate according to the local street race heroes around here... icon_eek.gif
