I would like to know what the differance is between a ls1 and lt1.I can buy one that is running and has about 60,000 miles on it for a really nice price.

Information on the differences between the two motors:

In terms of the difference for swapping them I can't tell you but I have a feeling the LT1 would be more difficult to swap in compared to an LS1 because of the computer/electrical situation with our trucks.

The older (modern, fuel-injected) LT1 is a cool engine.

The only way I would consider one though is if you factor-in the cost of an aftermarket solution to the "Opti-Spark" ignition sensor.

Just my thoughts, but may want to change the way it was asked, or add something like this:
" has anyone on here swapped in a LT1 v8?
If so, how do you like it?
Would you do it again if you had the chance?
Or would you wait for a good deal on LS1? "

That may get you some responses other then search google

425 whp lt1 or ls1 are pretty nice if you have the money for it.

Should have been the only motor avalible from the factory for how many years now. Be obsolete soon along with the others.

most older LT1's were converted over to LT4's, there not bad engines.
just old style small blocks

If it was free I would understand you humoring using it. For $400 though you could do a 5.3 out of a truck and be in the same power range. Maybe even ahead.

For what is worth. You can modify a Lt1 to use lsx electronics. Which means you could use the same electronics you wouled use in a ls1 swap

The diff.in technology is about 20 years,not that they were so bad,just that the LS is that good!

From what I've read, LT1/LT4 reverse flow cooling can be problematic.

 

[05_quick4door]

It works really well. So we'll that gm stole it lol
