The LS1 is a great swap because it's light years ahead of the gen2 SBC. It is about 150lbs lighter, produces lots of clean horsepower and gets great mileage. Also, the seals and gaskets are precision and are designed not to leak.

Amen to that!!!!
I had a hard 100K miles on my 98Z before I sold it, and not one leak. The proof is in the pudding, or whatever they say.
You can even reuse the gaskets many times, I did, and not one leak.

Why LS1? B/c carbed motors are too much of a pain to play with, imo. The LS1 is badass and will make my 3200 lbs truck fly, hopefully.
I agree with you all plus where else can you get a drivetrain you can abuse all night at the track and drive it to work all week at 20+ miles per gallon. It also sounds different and runs smoother than any engine I've ever heard, and it fits in almost anything. I've ever seen this engine fitted to helicopters. It is truly GM best engeneering feet ever.
