Well he could be using a LT1 block with his factory 305 TPI intake. I wonder what heads he's using though, can't be the LT1 heads because they're reverse cooled and would take some work to make it work.

You wouldn't. The custom machining would cost more than the damned motor is worth. I'm guessing that it's just an uninformed seller. I emailed him yesterday and provided him with some more accurate information and offered to determine what he really has if he sends me the casting #s on the block. So far no response.

Looks like someone borrowed the fog lights on that IROC-Z.

I thought that all LT1's were 2 bolt mains?? I know that all 350 TPI engine's are 2 bolts stock.

probably an aluminum headed L98, if even that. it isn't the original motor, because center bolt heads started in 87 iirc.

Haha! I do forget that sometimes, until some dumb ***** puts something like that on Ebay. That car looks stock as hell. It looks just like my 87 IROC's engine bay.

The car didn't sell either. He wanted at least $4500 for it, no wonder no one bought it.

That doesn't seem like alot of money. I've seen lots of adds for cars with tons more miles, and worse condition for more money.

Maybe its my area. 3rd gens don't go for a premium around here, for some reason.
