water proofing
I just bought a 95 LT1, the truck will see muddy trails water holes sand and snow, with a pretty much open engine compartment. can I even use this motor? can I waterproof the opti with silicone? Do I have to do that conversion every one talks about? Thanks for the help in advance -Ryan
sell the LT1 and go 5.3 or 6.0. The LT1 is old technology and the opti drowns easily. Parts are VERY expensive for the LT1. I had a 93 Corvette LT1 in my 92 C1500 for 150k and was glad to see it go even though it resides in my buddy's 89 SCSB and still runs like a striped ape.

I second that. I had an LT1 also I hated the optispark.
6.0 all the way.
99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
i have a 95 lt-1 in my 32 roadster, and it sees plenty of rain, have never had the problems that every body talks about with the dist, i have the vented one and it has worked great, this is the second old car i have put one in and love them, i have the 4.8 in my 83 gmc, and it is easier to work on, but not that much better motor
1987 jeep wrangler, 1999 LS 1, 4l60 231j transfercase, dana 30 frontend ford 8.8 rearend 3:73 gear ratio. sandersons shortie headers, 2.25 inch exhaust into 3 inch flowmaster muffler.
Id go LS engine as well, alot more power for about the same money
DO a TPI setup on a small block or go with a LS series motor. The LT's are a street motor and Ive blown the rotor off one opti. Thats why I have a MSD unit now. But, the LT keeps doing its job everyday of eating mustangs and LS camaros so Im happy. I have had my fair share of lost races due to a pro charged LS camaro here and there. _
PS the car runs mid to high 12's all day long.
