no worries... it's the advantage of being up close to GM and their lunacy.
I would have had the same take if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. GM never used the same RPO on SIMILAR items before, that I am aware of. I mean, the L98 was the Vette engine... the L89 was the Fbody engine... back in the 80s, of course. |

Well to me, an LT1 is a 92-96 Corvette engine. An LT-1 is an early C3 high performance 350, and the 2 bolt engines are not the same standard as the LT1 Corvette engine and shouldnt get the same name.

Looks like Mojo installed an engine from Contemporary Corvette and is running fine. I noticed on their web site they have several more LT1s available. Might be an option if you're interested.

I sent Frank a PM a couple of days ago, and haven't heard back from him. I talked to Contemporary, and they were not very responsive when I brought up the dual mass issue... infact, it verged on beligerance. I wasn't impressed. |

Contemporary has lost my future business. When I brought up the entire dual mass job, they got downright ignorant with me.
For that matter, so did Dino at Corvette Salvage... And Dino knows me... Taber wasn't much better, but the guy did admit to not knowing the details of the dual mass function... I get the feeling he knows C3s and earlier... the newer Vettes lummox him. Fair enough. But it still means that three vendors have a very strange policy. |

Are you starting to feel that it may be a better choice to rebuild your existing engine?

I am in a wait state right now. The holidays has really screwed me for time...
What I was "working" on was a killer shortblock that was under a mechanics lien. However, the deal fell through when the person with the lien paid up. Oh well. I am leaning towards 383, now... still researching. |
