A lot of hard work for minimal advantage, i do like the ls1 in a 240 tho, u can pick up the motor for $1500, a nice shell for a grand, and for under 5k you can run dam near 10's with stock motor and bottle.
A lot of ls1 swapped FDs are around 2600lbs, the LS1 actually weighs less than the stock 13b.
