Yo,

I think he started this post so he could find the best clutch for his situation.

Let him ask as many questions. isnt this the reason we come to this website? to hear from other opinions/experiences and learn something new?

Yo, little brother. Keep asking, I am learning instead of wasting money on parts that will not work.

IOW, as soon as they stopped putting them in new cars. There were some left over motors, but once those were sold there were no more.

That part number he quoted is valid, and last summer when I replaced my motor, I put that exact thing in. Brand new, never run, not rebuilt LT1 longblock complete from valve covers to oil pan.

My block is stamped with the date 5/21/2001.

GM made a number of "service replacement" LT1 longblocks like mine. FWIW, I have a 4 bolt main block.

The Steel Flywheel and Mcleod Single Disk...

But I also heard that the Steel Flywheel is no good for Street Purposes... Aluminum is the way to be... more controversy!! damn it!!

i was under the impression that the lt1 was extremely durable and "bullet proof"

so would it matter all that much that the driver was abusive?

LT1 Is extermely Durable.. But by no mean's bullet proof.. i have gotten over 150K miles out of mine and some have more than that.. I raced mine every weekend.. It made over 300 RWHP w/ that mileage and ran' 12's all day long.. So.. I have no complaints.. but the bullet proof thing went out the window when i was picking up the 4 con rod's out of the oil pan....
