i am really intrested in buying a 2000 z28 ls1, i really dont know much about them since im an lt-1 person and im pretty knowledable on working on lt1 so what do guys think witch engine is easier to tear apart ????



LS1 OR LT1 AND WHY ????

 

I know LS1 is easier to work on as far as placement of spark plugs, the LS1 doesn't have the optispark design that all of us LT1 owners love so much. Idk if it's just me but it seems like LS1's are more accessible, they're actually 346 ci whereas the LT1 is 350 ci, that may have something to do with it? If I were you I'd get the LS1. I love my LT1, but my next f-bod will be an LS1.

 

I'd much rather work on an LS1....Go for it!

 

thanks guys i just made the deal of my life $2800 for a 2000 z28 ..

now i have to sell all my LT-1 parts that i have

 

yea you suck.............but seriously good deal, i'm jealous

 

This isn't my thread, but since I just traded from a LT1 to a LS1, I'm also interested in which one is easier to work on, specifically the general maintenance and upgrade areas like plugs, water pump. belts/hoses, headers, etc.

 

Well, you can see the plugs on a LS1.

 

i hate that stupid metal thing that has a spring that protects the wire, but 10x easier than the lt-1. i was messing with it today and everything removes easy love my 2k z28 ...
