Thus no LS7 (unfortunately).

We talk about the ls7 draw backs but what about the lt1?
It's PCV systems hooked to the intake and many lt1 engines suck oil in the filter and intake to some degree we were told to run a half quart low.

When heads on those keep Co speed happy with pictures of crap oil covered valves.
To sell the catch can it needs!

Time will tell the lt1 is a dud. Mine was the worse engine ever from GM and I have had a lot of them.
