.....Not sure what a good price is on the 6.o liter. I'm on my way out the door the see the Rolling Stones at the Forum in LA. Got to hurry.... Please remember what I've said is WHAT I WOULD DO if I was in your possition. This might NOT be the best thing for you. I'm not qualified to comment on building a first gen. as well as some of the others on the board. Like 76GMC1500 said, pick his brain for some 'build your own 350 to go 11's'..... And what I was saying in my previous post was in regards to an LS1 which is about one second faster than an LT1. Go to www.camaroz28.com & check out the engine section on the LT1's & the LS1's. There is HOURS of reading on what to do. Not that this board can't answer this but that site is exculsive to F-Body's....
