Have anybody done this project? I've been thinking about either way rebuilt my slow tired LT1 engine or swamping brand new LS1 motor. I noticed my Camaro is slow off the line. My camaro has over 100k miles on it. I could either upgrade it with LT4 package replacing the cam, head, valvetrain, and rockers. I heard that the LS1 motor is much more better and powerful than the tired LT1 motor. Does LS1 motor rev faster? Since my engine is iron block with alumium intake mainfold which isnt a good heat transfer combination for my engine which make me watch my engine temp to make sure it doesnt overheat. I just purchased the car a month ago. Its 1997 Red Camaro Z28 SS with T-tops. Im proud to be the third owner of the car. Since the LS1 is lightweight aluminum block and makes more power than the LT1 motor. Can anybody give me advice if If I choose to go with the Swap of the LS1 motor or go with the rebuilt upgrade from LT1 to LT4? What else will I need to replace beside I know the computer programming will have to be replaced too when swap in the LS1? I have 6 speed T-56 tranny. Im not sure if it can handle that kind of power? Seem like I need to get my T-56, and clutch rebuilt after swapping in the LS1 motor. I sure would great appricate all advices or experience in this project
