Another post got me thinking. How many different engines have been put in our cars?

1. -4
2. -6
3. SBC V-8
4. Buick V-6
5. Porsche 928 V-8
6. RX-7 roto-rooter
7. Subaru flat 4
8. Ford turbo 4
9. Electric (GE or Bosch but not Lucas)
10. Nissan V-6
11. Saab turbo
12. Subaru -6
13. See the list below (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Who knows of others???

The LT1 is remarkably similar to a regular 350. It's just set up with a really nice combo, out of the box. It has reverse cooling, 10.5:1 compression, roller lifters, aluminum heads, and a really nice FI system on it. It has a nice broad torque range and gets good gas mileage. The reason it won't fit is the water pump, which I am relocating to the front trunk. With the water pump gone it's the same size as a regular 350, and it's no longer a big deal. I think most prople just shy away from it because it's possible to get the same performace from a regular SBC and then you can just use one of the prefabricated kits available. I chose it because I want the drivability of a modern FI and I could get the whole shebang for $1000. I'm fabricating most of my own conversion parts because I can, and it's cheaper that way, so I have no reason to not choose the LT1. Sorry to sound so preachy, but that's just a summary of my reasoning. It's quite possible I'll regret my decision sometime down the road, but I doubt it.
