I have been doing research on the forum and see that it is better to swap in a LS1 in my 3rd gen then spending money on a 350TPI. Would you recomend it I have 5K to spend on hte Car?

 

what is your goal? HP, drivability, mpg? you can build one hell of a 350tpi for that.

 

$5k =

A stock, used LS1 or a modded out, gas guzzling TPI

Go LS1.

 

I just want a Stock LS1 with this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

But I don't know if the Rear end will Last with the LS1. Unless I get it built

 

Can't use the intake parts. So don't waste your money

 

Go LS1 style... I'm speakin 6.0 iron block you can get one cheap now adays. It's a truck motor. you can get it cheaper than half the LS1 price.. Way better in the end. Rear would need to be upgraded if stock eventually but should be ok for a while. I still run my stock rear with my 5.3

 

I went LS1 and never regretted it. Definitely the way to go, IMHO.

 

just go efi ls something you wont regret it
the rear end in the car is the same pos 10 bolt behind that motor in an ls car
