What is the difference, if any, between a '96 LT1 and a '97 LT1?
I have an opportunity to buy a complete LT1 without wiring or computer for $300, with 170,000 miles on it. I have a '97 Camaro SS that still runs fine with 90,000 miles on it, but would like to start rebuilding a heavily modified motor to drop in within a year or so.
Is there any reason I can't rebuild this '96 and put it in place of my '97 motor with litttle or no changes to sensors and such?

Please tell us how the LT1 in a 97 F-Body "looks like an LS1 on the internal".

The Wife had a Hissy-Fit and wouldn't let me buy it. A 1996 with 170,000 miles and it went for $450 on ebay, only 2 hours from where I live. I wish I still had *********. 
Thanks for the info though, and for the short trip through the twilight zone there on the internals of the LT1/LS1 swap.
