Default LT1 vs LS1

Ihave a 94 cpe. It has approx. 108,000 mls on it .The motor is still pretty strong but it cant last forever.Is it possible to put a LS1 w /AUTO IN MY C4. Or should i just stick with rebuilding my original LT1.

For the price differance I would rebuild the LT1 with ported heads,cam, a converter,gears and you are prolly still cheaper than a LS1 swap and faster!

Your engines bottom end probably doesn't need rebuilding if has been well maintained. I think you could get another 100k by having the heads reworked with new bronze guides, valves, valve springs, and rocker arms and adding a new timing chain to that and you'll be set.
