Donor motor
I have a 93 with 150,000 miles on it. I use it for autocross and track day as well as daily driver. I love the car and have to prepare myself for its eventual demise. I also have a pre 78 4 bolt main 350 setting in the garage. This is a low tech motor. Can I swap all the modernish crap from the 93 onto this block and use it in the 93?

Scour around on craigs list. You can usually find LT1 cores / direct drop ins at a reasonable price.
Camaros / Trans Ams / Impala SS / Corvettes all ran these motors from 92 (for corvettes) through 96.
All of the blocks with the exception of the vette blocks are 2 bolt mains. Don't let that keep you from buying one of these motors as it seems that a 2 bolt block drilled for 4 bolt splayed main caps is stronger then the factory 4 bolt block anyway.

some of the LT1s aren't they are 4.3 liter v8s but they look like LT1s and are often mistaken/sold/bought as LT1s.
