The LT1 has nothing in common with an LS1 other than they happen to be the same displacement, hence my joke above about the 5.7 Hemi.
And don't go buying any 2013+ LT1 parts because those motors have nothing in common with the 92-97 LT1s

I understand that. I just thought that was a decent price for those parts, and that if I could use them, I'd buy'em and let them sit on a self until I was at that point. It is a intake set up for a Chevrolet 5.7 L V8. I do have a Chevrolet 5.7 L V8. I didn't know if it would work or not, so I asked. In all honesty, does that really sound that far fetched?
If you want to an LS swap would in my opinion be a good idea.

Although there's a ZR-1 for sale on here for 11 grand that would make me drop all of this crap if I could.
It depends on how much down time your car can have. Cuisinartvette is the go-to guy on here for port work, if he still does it. Send your heads and manifold to him for some work and do some research on spring upgrades matched to a good cam and you may be surprised at the gains you make! There are still plenty of tricks out there to wring a good amount out of the C4 LTx platform without breaking the bank.

Thank you to those that have answered my questions and shown support for me. Everyone has got to start somewhere. I've been a Vette owner for less than a year, so I'm learning. To the haters- ,i,,
