Can't seem to get any responces.

I don't know how or if GM fixed the DS vbib. problem on my 97SS. Couldn't get an answer from dealer.

Anyway, with my new shortblock and 4.10s I believe it would be a good idea to get another DS, just in case.

But which one:

1le ($267.00 shipped)
Ls1
LPE 3.5"

Thanks for your input.

 

I opted for the 1le... apparently, it has a thicker wall than the LS1 even though it is only 2.75" as compared to 3" for the LS1. The LPE is overkill but it obviously would not hurt you.

 

Thanks. I wonder if there is any problem with fitment with the 3.5" LPE?

I have dual cats, dual tips.

 

The 4.10s will add some speed to the d/s. Any imbalance will be more noticeable. As for size of the LPE, take a look under the car to see if it would cause any problems with your exhaust. Take a measurement to the nearest thing it might contact.

I don't know the specs of the LPE, but the 1LE is stronger than the LS1.

 

Thanks Shoe: I think I'll get the 1le. $220.00 seems like a pretty good price and I shouldn't have to sell too many pencils before I can order.

 

Checked with GM PartsDirct. They want damn near $50.00 for S&H. So I'm going with Sallee Chevy here in Oregon. $255.00 plus $12.00 S&H.

Same difference. I just feel better knowing I didn't get screwed on the S&H.

No way a 12 LB DS should cost $50.00 for S&H.

I bought a new Lt1 Short block 4-bolt main from Sallee for 1650 plus $100.00 for S & H.

Good place to get After Market Chevy stuff. JMHO

 

Typical of gmpartsdirect to gouge on shipping.
