LT1 is a different animal. It's about 90% the same as a traditional small block but intake,heads accys ,dissy etc are different. A popular mod for police cars here was to replace the cam driven water pump with an electric one as the elec cools better at idle.

I believe I have those brackets already, don't I? <G> That one isn't for sale, as far as I know, anyway.

Just make sure it's an LT1 and not the baby LT1. Check the vin code IIRC it should be P. You will need the F-body accy brackets though and it will drop right in.Robert AdamsIt is a Buick. It's also and LT1 in complete running order that would work nicely in the Elky.JC --- John Christensen Saint Charles, ILOn Sun, Feb 28, 2010 at 11:42 PM, <<mailto:faithcubsmc2691@xxxxxxx><mailto:faithcubsmc2691@xxxxxxx>faithcubsmc2691@xxxxxxx> wrote:Oh my goodness.............thanks for thinking of me with this, John!!! :)If you find out what the asking price is for this wagon, let me know, John.

It's the yellow one for sale, and I think the newer one right next to it has an LT1, and I would personally rather have that for it's engine (to put in the Elky). I am sending this to Cort twice, just because I know he likes these.I have no idea how much it is, but I have been walking past it for a year or so on the way to Tom's place.Just dreamin' Back to work.
