Here's a short video of my Formula after my motor swap. It got a 383 LT1 with an Edelbrock performer air gap 58mm intake, hotcam and the bulletproof MSD optispark. Other upgrades are 410 rear gears with a detroit locker, SLP coated stainless headers with loudmouth 1 all the way back, Edelbrock adjustable coilovers, and a stage 3 clutch. I have owned this car for ten years, and the motor had about 170K miles on it before It lost oil pressure at idle, and blew a head gasket, but even with these problems, it was still drivable, and it still did great burnouts. I am going to build a 396 with the original motor.

LT's are great engines. My '96 Vettes LT4 has 213K on it, I dropped in a HOT CAM and have been running with C5s and C6s no problem.

Yup. I just completed the LTCC kit, so now it runs on coil packs. Smooth as glass at all rpm ranges.

Sounds like a thing of beauty

You won't find them already measured and booted for this setup. These are custom fitted and I did them myself. It is quite easy to do. I just did the LTCC setup, so I took these wires out.

I want to get a 383 kit for my LT1. I have a CC503 cam in my car rn. It would be awesome!!!

Not sure. I had the motor builder just add it to the 383 motor, because I needed the factory intake for a project I am doing with the original motor. So I never had the edelbrock intake on the factory LT1.

Are you still running it?
@RidX4Ricers 13 years ago

How much did it cost to do all that?

When did I hate on GM?

Wasted money on that edelbrok intake. Stock one is good up to 600hp with a port job that usually costs $200.

@formula112967 stock heads and a cc306 xD pretty much the opposite of your car.
