Putting a LT1 in my bogger

[OL' CHET]

had a stock 350 put a new cam, intake, had head's re-done. Then spun a crank bearing, at the first bog. helped a friend restore his 67 Mustang, in return he gave me a LT1.

is it the alum head motor? i had one in a z28 with the lt4 kit and wow, those things run. are you keeping it fi or carb? id take the heads off and port match everything and throw in a cam to wake it up. those are killer motors.


good luck with the build, i love hearing a 7k rpm screamin lt1 in a bogger.  

[OL' CHET]

No its not aluminum head,  yeah im running FI, funds are low so i cant do too much! will keep you all updated on how it all goes

Good luck. Ive got Lt-1 in my TJ.
I swapped to carb setup, optispark and mud dont mix!

 I was wondering if anybody knew if the cam has a gear for HEI distribitor

[Strapless]

Yes there is. If I were you I would get a set of stock alum. heads, Yours is only 265 hp. Alum ones make it 295. And run the number and make sure you didn't get hosed with a 4.3 LT1. It's a v8 and visually the same. Good luck.

Finally got it ready to start... had a few set backs in the process. had exhaust manifolds on, cut the air tubes off of them, welded up the holes, and apparently slag fell in the cylinder . turned it over a couple times and heard a little banging . So i took spark plugs out, looked in the cylinder, with a flash light and noticed the slag. Took it all apart did very little damage got it all back together ! Also put in a B&M slap shifter, welded up a headache rack! and a buddy of mine  made me a gas tanks as part of a swap of labor so now I'm going to test it!

run's pretty good!
