Buyin an LT1. PLEASE HELP

alright. im buyin an lt1 for my 67 camaro. i know its gunna be a lot of work. but i want this thing to be absolute mint before i put it in. heres the plan.

buy a lt1. put in a new cam, throttle body, intake, computer chip and headers.

how much power would i be makin with that.

Will i be able to bolt my th-350 into the new lt1 block?

and will it be able to handle a 150 wet shot of nitrous express? i dont think my car could. but could the engine?

What kind of cam and throttle body and everything to make it sound and perform the best. i know nothing about lt1's so give me some good names and good cam applications to make it sound really throty. thankyou.

Yes the LT1 will accept a TH350...

Cam wise, without porting, possibly an XE grind, like a 224/230 at the most, go with a 58mm throttle body, scratch the computer chip, just get a good tune.

What do you mean get an intake for it?

I wouldn't put anymore than a 100 wet shot through it after the cam etc. etc., with around 350-360rwhp, a 100 shot would push the fwhp over 500, not something the factory internals would appreciate more than once.

Your going to have your computer programmed anyways, so whoever is doing the programming should be asking you these questions, you can also delete alot of the emmisions junk too.
