recently i given a lt1, trans, and some exhaust parts and i plan on putting into a car with a blown motor this summer.(whenever it gets here in mi) im looking to do some upgrades to the motor well it is not in a car so its easier. id like to stay under a grand on the upgrades what are some good things to do?

 

Longtubes, ory(or catted y) and catback is your $1,000 right there.

 

i already have the longtubes. they came with the motor

 

Small cam or stall if its an A4

 

keep savin, gona need about 3 k to do it proper. you can do bolt ons like cold air intake, exhaust and headers like fd is sayin but as far as the lt1,,, p and p heads and intake, 1850, cam 150 then its roller rockers bigger tb and some bigger injectors. could just go cam and valve springs with 1.6 rockers.

 

wheres a good place to get after market parts from? just the local parts store or is there a good website for parts?

 

Summit Racing and Jegs are two of the big one's. Local parts stores usually only carry replacement OE parts. We can get aftermarket, but it's cheaper usually through Summit.

 

welllll what kind of parts, what car is the lt1 going in?

 

Ws6 store, texas speed, summit, etc.

 

Ls5.3 or Ls1 swap it, Ive heard to many stories about LT1s blowing headgaskets, I've never owned one but that's what's keeping me from buying one unless the car I buy has one
