i am on the coast....within 50 miles of houston...i played the ls game for a long time(have had 6 LS1's)...but recently built a lt1...i now love working on the lt1..the thing isnt as user friendly as the ls...but it has a lot of pontential that people dont give it credit for....i still love working on the ford modulars more than anything...

Haha thats a tough job! Those heads (4v) have that nasty 90* turn at the intake valve, and for some reason Ford decided to make the bore so small.. but that new 5.0 is a nasty piece, the heads on that bitch flow like 300cfm stock. Ford really did something to the mod motor with the new one... It shits all over the old one.
I have seriously seen some quick mods though.
I was a BB Chevy guy, but I picked up a 98 firebird for 900 and bought an LS w/ 6speed from jud and swapped it in. Currently building my 1st LS, 370" iron block with the L92 square port heads.
LT1's are no joke either, people seem to laugh them off, but their basically just an updated SBC, and we all know how fast some of those go....
