Re: LT1 Model Engine (Sprongs)
The only engine models I've ever seen (diecast or plastic) are the 1) "The Visible V8," which is a kit available at large hobby stores (around 100 bucks, I think) that you build yourself. Alot of the parts are clear (thus the "visible" name) so you can see the internals, and the 2) Ferrari F-2000 Formula 1 engine seen here:
It's 1/4 scale, and is limited to a very low production run. At $4700, I don't imagine I'll be seeing one on my shelf anytime soon.
If there's an LT1 out there, it's got to fall in between these two in terms of price. That's *if* one even exists... I'd be curious to know myself, though, as an LT1 model could easily be made to look like an LT4!

Re: LT1 Model Engine (Sprongs)
They made a set that included 3 engines, but I forget what years are in it but I think it has a LT1 in it.
They are smaller... maybe 1/24 scale(?)

Re: LT1 Model Engine (Sprongs)
There is currently no LT1 engine available from any of the manufacturers
other than the engines that come in the 1:24 plastic and 1:18th Diecast. There
are 1:12th LS1's available (Ertl).
It would be NICE if someone would do an LT1 though... And an LT5 and L98
for that matter! Maybe I will talk to Liberty Classics (they make 1:6th Scale
Die Cast Engines) seems like they have made every engine I have asked for
so far :D
