What's the opinion of the LM1 350 Chebby motor that GM Goodwrench has. It looks nice, cheap ($1300), and kicks the crap out of my LG4. LOL I'm starting to wonder just how much of a beating my LG4 got from the previous owner considering that it was a rebuild and I had to replace the vacuum hoses that were held together with ELECTRICAL TAPE! I really wanna take the biznatch apart and see what's going on inside, but it's my daily driver, so that's out of the question...
I'm thinking of dropping one in my '85 Z too. From everyone I've talked to they say that the 350 will be a significant improvement. Check out the motor swap page, 305 to new 305 topic.
Well mine didn't start getting a lot of power until after about 10,000 miles. With no mods I picked up a second at the track each time a went for about 7 months.
