*Mods feel free to move this is necessary-

So around January I plan on getting a good hunk of change (around $2700) After finishing up the final fixings on this car (ball joints and blinkers) It should be my DD for college up until around that point, then I plan on selling it (It's only been driven a total of maybe 50 miles with all the mods stated in my restoration thread, they're mostly bolt ons). I spent well into 2 grand restoring it and plan on selling it hopefully for around 2 grand (its got 160XXX) Which in turn leaves me with around 5 grand, ill have money from Christmas and working so around 5.5 grand. There are LT1's selling around my area for 2-3 grand (ikr? pretty awesome) should I get a good mileage LT1 for around 3 grand and use the rest for mods? or spend the whole and get a decent LS1?I know these isnt an insanely good budget but I am a broke college kid and I finally want to jump on the V8 wagon

 

Graduate college, buy nice ls1.

 

Le LS1.

 

Socom what does graduating college have anything to do with it..

 

This is most likely the style LT1 I would get if I did go that route

96 camaro Z-28 5.7 lt1 t-tops w/flowmasters

 

this isn't even a question, LS1 cars can be had for 4-5k all day now and I'm sorry but the LSx platform is so far superior to any LTx platform that its not even a comparison

 

Graduating college = good job = money = nicer car. And I would go with LS1 if I had a choice. Easier to tune and such.

 

again.. I will ruin you.

Thanks for the input guys. LS1 it is.

 

LS1 over a LT1 any day of the week . . . I'm selling my 2000 SS btw

 

You forgot one... = student loan to pay off.
