I own a 1994 cheverolet camaro with a 3.4 V6 in it. Ive been saving up for an LS1 to swap out with my current motor. My fathers friend who I also bought my camaro from has an LT1 that has 40,xxx miles on it and a brand new transmission. He is willing to sell both the motor and the transmission to me for $800. Even though I know its a great deal every one is telling me that an LT1 is crap and that I should just buy it and sell it for money towards an LS1. And what I was wanting to know was if I keep the LT1 will I be able to build it up to put out a good amount of horse power. Im going to go look at the motor and transmission tomorrow morning..
