The only argumentyou guys have is your aftermarket stuff.
Chevy LS1 Engine Block Basics - Hot Rod Magazine
Read that it will explain why the engines are held in such high regaurd.
You got a good point!
These SBF vrs LS1 threads always seem to get some all hot and bothered
If one compares stock to stock
Well ... that is just not fair
I mean ... The SBF came out in the early 60's
AND
It really ain't changed much since then
The LS1 is a really nice offering from Chevy
but
They built it using a clean sheet of paper to speak
so
Heck Fire Yes ... It has got much newer technology on its side
and
You gotta give Chevy credit for making a really nice STOCK motor
Now ... as I see it
It all boils down to what makes you feel all warm and fuzzy
For me ... Its pushrods forever :Word:
I'm older than most of you guys and I relive my youth with my little GT
When I lift that hood I wanna see what I think looks like a hot rod motor
It looks like a 221-302 SBF or 5.0 Liter if you prefer
or
It looks like a 351 Windsor
also
It DON'T look like an over grown motorcycle engine ... (mod motor)
I build hot rods
and
They got hot rod parts like heads, headers, etc
I would not EVEN be interested with ANY car I had not modded
when talking about my ... Weekend Toy
That goes for a Chevy with a LS1 motor
and
Same can be said for Fords such as the 03 Cobra and the like
ANYBODY can buy a fast car :Word:
That ... To Me ... Well ... That ain't hot rodding
If you wanna buy a car from the factory and keep it stock
then
A Chevy with the LS1 does offer good power
but
It still is a Chevy
Just a few thoughts from my perspective I guess
