Which engine for Kitt??
Well, the deal for the performance-built LT1 fell through. I have an LT1 longblock with only 15K miles on it. I have a bare intake, and no serpentine setup or accessories. I have the computer but no harness. I might have a buyer for my LT1 if I decide to sell it. I'm asking $800 for it. I know this is kinda steep, but im' unsure as to whether or not I want to sell it. So, I'd be interested in your opinions!
Keep in mind that this will see street duty very regularly. Perhaps daily driver from time to time.

whats wrong with the LT1 ? keep it, ur th700 is modded already ..
finish it up.. it should be a 400 hp motor with exhaust.. ported heads and hotcam... whats ur goal for the car.. if a daily driver keep it simple.. u seem to have a great start.. no point rebuilding something that works perfectly...

If I can get the BB 506 from my friend, could it be converted to fuel injection? More specifically, a Ram Jet, since that is the only port FI that I know of for Big blocks.

As of right now, I'll probably stick with the LT1 I have now and swap in a T56 too. I don't have a lot of cash now, so I'm researching. What do you think of the Cams XE 230/236 cam? This will most likely be my daily driver, so MPG and streetability is important.
