Just a little bit off topic, but about the LT1
I apologize for this not being a corvette related thread. However, with all the information I've gotten off this board in the past and all the help you've all given to me, why would I go anywhere else for advice? Anyhow, on with the question. I'm actually looking into buying a 1994 Z28 with 146,000 miles on it. The guy is asking a very fair price with all the mods into it, but as far as the engine goes, it is still stock. I'm looking into buying a new factory LT1 for it, but I'm not sure where to go. I've checked the local Chevy dealer and surely I can get one cheaper than what they're asking. I will be installing this with the help of my dad and uncle, so labor cost is basically nothing. The need for Chevy speed is in my blood and I'm going to sell my 97 Tacoma to my dad to make this purchase and focus all my efforts on restoring my 1980 vette. That is of course after I put a new engine into the Z28. So any suggestions on where I may go to find a cheap factory LT1 would be very appreciated.
Ok, I'll throw the vette in a little bit. I'm actually ready now to get her up on jackstands and have about a month to rebuild her rear-end before the nice weather comes around. It's funny. 10 years ago I never thought I'd be looking forward so much to rebuilding a car and getting it on the road. It's been too long since she's been out for a ride, damn snow. Thanks.

I know you can pick up used Lt-1's from Contemporary Corvette, in Bristol, PA. I think they will Charge you around 2 or 3k for one but it will be complete. Call Ron - Tell him Mike with the yellow 69 from Corvette foum sent you. :yesnod:
