Default Buying a Ls1..Help

Ok so I sold my gst and it looks like im coming to the darkside, I found a 97 z28 30th anniversary edition with a little over 100k. Now my question is there anything I should look out for? he said there was a bad tpi sensor but other then that the car runs good and its an easy part to replace.

Get an ls1. You wont regret it. I would stay away from an lt1 personally. The ls1 is a much easier platform to go fast with. The lt1 can be built up of coarse but I wouldn't spend my time and money on it.

You can't kill an LT1 tho, only thing is at like 105k EVERY seal goes lol. LS1s are a much better car all together tho IMO.
