Don't bother with the LT1. They have an aluminum block that wasn't sleeved with cast iron. Get it too hot and the cylinders would warp. Get it checked to make sure it isn't already warped.

You sure about that??

That says they are cast iron blocks, not AL. AL blocks are special.

Even wiki says all were cast iron blocks with AL heads ...

As far as I know GM (or anybody) NEVER made an AL block with out sleeved cylinders ...
