3rd gens had 350s too. not all of em were 5.0Ls. Honestly the 4th gen is a great car, nice n fast but they are depriciating while 3rd gens are starting to appriciate in price.

What is an older LT1 compared to a newer LT1? You can find a good LT1 camaro for 5-6 grand and have 5-4 grand left and that will go ALONG way for bolt ons. Or you can get an LS1 and have alil left over (they really vary in price ive seen 6k-over 10k) for something small like a CAI but you will already have the horsepower advantage over an LT1. imho you should get an LT1 and spend the rest on mods for that. You can make a sick aftermarket LT1 Fbody for alil less than an LS1 because things tend to cost more for the LS1.

Most LS1's make 300rhp stock. most lt1's do not make 260rwhp stock, more like 240ish maybe 250 with a team of hampsters running on the dyno drums to help out.the LT1 was not underrated by any appreciable means. any deviations can be chalked up to error ~5-10hp either way
spectre/ar/or[8D], where do you buy parts from? kuz summit has the same parts like cams/pistons that are cheaper for the LT1 and more expensive for the LS1. Plus if your not installing the item yourself labor will get you. Ive looked it up on Mitchell OnDemand5(an informationsource we use in the shop)usually the labor time for replacing some parts is more costly on an LS1 than an LT1.
Also im not talking about any little bolt ons im talking stock. they dont make 330 to the rear stock, thats the Z28/Trans Am/Formula. Not the WS6 or SS or Firehawk.
