Just a coincidence the member 'ch@0s' who responded has replaced and upgraded his LT1 with a custom built LSX... whereas myself - run a cleaned and polished stock engine for display.

My lt1 looks pretty stock most of the money was spent inside the engine

My signature pretty much describes my little 12.1:1 compression 355.
