if so how did you like it and what problems did you run into installing it?

anybody???

 

Just out of curiosity why would you want to? There arent really any gains from it, unless you wanted to put like a crate type engine in it. Even if you just wanted to carb it they make stuff to transform the EFI engines to carbeurated.

 

Hell, I thought about doing it, cheaper then buying a new LS1 plus you get a 24,000 mile warranty. My car gives me so much hell, only put 3k miles on it since I got it in september. Off the road more then it's on it.

 

i was also wondering the same thing. Because you could a sbc a lot cheaper than a lt1 crate engine. Lt1's seem to have so many problems also

 

Here's a Gen 1 SBC (well, its actually a Dart Iron Eagle block) in a 97....

 

I put a carb'd SBC into my 97 SS. It wasn't that bad of an install really.

Interior wise everything was left stock (power windows, seats, locks, etc).

I used a motor plate for my car, mostly because there wasn't really a motor mount combo that worked with a factor k-member. There are a few companys that make an aftermarket k-member with SBC mounts, but with the LT1 and SBC using different motor mounts I chose the motor plate route.
