Pretty sure bottom ends are the same. Gonna use my 317 heads.

Hp and tq are the same between the iron and aluminum.

Buddy, my money is on you. If anyone can make this into a purring kitten, you can!

Clean the snot out of it, check it as you rebuild and strip off all the stuff you care off your old motor and transfer. Would be interesting to take pressure readings on the cylinders prior to dismantling if possible.... may give you some peace of mind.

Thank you my friend, but I can't take the credit for doing it. Gotta have a mechanic do it. I don't have the time, a lift or anywhere to work on it unfortunately.

The LS1 motor in it. Is the nbs considered a Gen 1 or Gen 2?

Neither, it's a Gen 3.
