I dunno.. I know he already has the 97 body .. can he put in a LS1 and run as a 98? He was saying that he thinks the LT1 factory rated at 275 HP is factored to 307 or close to that, & the LS1 is factored higher..
But I'll ask him tomorrow.. its a good question..

THANKS guys....
I'll have Frank Genovesi give you a call.. (you can tell by the name he is a fine Italian fellow) Also he said he may be interested in buying a Stock LS1 motor if you have any.. he will be calling.
Again thanks..

John you were right.. he can and will use either LS1 ot LT1 the LS1 is factored higher, but he will have to add a few lb of weight.
He is looking for either one as of now...

JP, thats a no brainer, the LS1 is a much better motor even with the additional weight.
If he's a serious racer he need to call someone like Woodro Josey, or Al Corda and get everything he need from them.

Last year he ran a Big Block Camaro B/SA & was running 1.3 under the index for B/SA I dont know who does his motors, but he ran well last year... I'm guessing he will be competitive no matter which motor he goes with..
I will have to ask him who is gonna do his computer chip... ?

Be careful as not all Gen II V8s are 350" blocks. Can't remember if all Gen II alum heads are same either but ls1.com also disscuses/has sources for Gen II LT1 cars/mtrs - tech section describes all Gen II applications/sizes. Haven't seen any Gen II 350" at the boneyards. Last few weeks been looking for seat belts for my C3 ('93 & later rear belts work). No late model cars in the pick-ur-own yards. But ya know i think u can swap a Gen I block into the late model cars and still be smog legal even in California. A swap may take a referee but as long as it passes the gas test should be no big deal as it's not such a big change - smog operator may not even notice.
BTW i can still find 400" sb's at the boneyards. Plenty of roller camed 350"s too. Man its tempting to drag one home (400" for only $200) as they will get thin/scarse before long.
Hope this can help. cardo0
