The big Jump to a LT1

[Ken Willis]

My car goes in the shop on Wednesday to get a Built LT1 motor dropped in I stumbled across a LT1 that has 22,000 miles on a fresh build up the heads were shaved it was cammed and roller/rockered one of the guys from my local track owns a shop and is throwing it in for $3200.00 includes everything i need minus the work to the rear end I.E ( LSD WITH 373 and full suspension package ) and a new bell housing

1. any thoughts or suggestions on lsds or wich ones are reliable.
2. I will have parts for sale from the old 3.8 let me know what you need and i will see if it is worth selling or not sold yet.

go for the zexel
much stronger than an auburn and no clutches to wear out...however if you get a take-out diff and use 4.10s or motive 3.73, you will need a two piece pin to seperate the axles or grind down the solid pin.

Why a new bellhousing?

[Ken Willis]

the bellhousing from a V/6 wont fit a LT1 but i may have found a fully built trans out of a 95 that is set up for 600HP if i can nrgotiate a good price.

You don't want to put your v6 tranny on the Lt1 no matter what. Get the 6 speed.

Unless its an auto, then nevermind.

i went with the racing trans mentioned above it is set up for six hundred horses and the build sheet shows total cost at 1200 i am getting it for $900.00 and am sure i will be happy.
