    The LT1 is just the forgotten middle child. Oldschool guys love the o.g. sbc. Younger dudes love the over saturated LS Platform. Lt1 is a perfect example of "jack of all trades, master of none." Too new school for the old heads, Too prehistoric for the tik tok generation 😂.

    I had Afterburners Flowtech long tubes on my 95 SS, no issues with fitment only shaved off the bolt from the control arms. Forgot the part # tho. I’m sticking with my LT1, I’m not trying to keep up with modern muscle. These are Classic now. Cruisers that are torquy.

    This is the absolute best header for b body, even the 3in exhaust is easy to install and fits perfect, I even upgraded drive shaft to 3.5 alum, an still fits perfect

    My LT1 is great once I do the transmission and rear end it have like 60. Thousand miles on the rebuilt with a few internal mods only cause it needed a gasket when I bought it so I was like last me another 20+ years sounds so good and it doesn't sound like 2002 Silverado

    Sad to see you have to goo (swap for a LS) after so long of going hard for the LT1 but it’s sad they basically left it for dead . . . RIP LT1 🥺💔

      I'm saving it and putting it in an older vehicle and converting it to a carb set up. Most likely a foxbody or 3rd gen camaro maybe OBS truck...something more lightweight and much older lol

      ​@nikothevirgo just picked up my Impala. Finished LS swapping my gbody last year, found you on YT riding hard for the LT until the last few days of me watching YT. Your gone to love the LS but far as me I'm kinda stuck. Was thinking of stroking the LT1 or upgrading it one or the 2 to keep the matching vins. But I'd be lying if I say I haven't thought of LSing it. Like to see you continue to post regardless
