Carbed LT1? I doubt much more than a carbed SBC. You figure 99% of LT1 swappers do it for the fuel injection and related benefits. Other than that, the OPTI, and reverse cooling--no difference. I'd really only say a couple hundred more than a typical SBC because of the option to switch directly (no modding) to LT1 induction and have an EFI LT1.

Well, you said a parts car? Does the fuel injection setup come with it? If so, and if you get a good deal on the car--you're good to go! Just stick right with LT1 induction.

Yea i think it is, the car in like smashed bad up to the TB almost, but the car had like 52K miles on it so, i'm pretty sure that all the stuff is in good shape unless it was before the mass air senor.

I saw a 92 RS with the LT-1 swap up here last year selling for $4000.

Most times it doesn't matter unless the buyer has a hard on for that conversion. When you sell a car, mods don't hardly fetch more money unless you are willing to sell it to an enthusiast. General public could care less and understand even less.

Very true. I know many people feel the car's value LESSENS from modifications...

depends on the modifications. When i was looking for a car anything that said rebuilt engine i steered clear of because it makes you wonder what was wrong with it and why it needed rebuilding. Engine transplants often induce a raised eyebrow and offer less confidence to the average buyer. This is also from before i knew anything about cars ive learned a lot since then so my attitude would be much different now.
